I notices about a 1-2 months ago when update to the latest current  
that the disklabels for one of my disks had changed. I don't remember  
if I installed 7.x or 8-snapshot (long time ago) but i did use DD  
mode. The disk label the install wrote to fstab was ad12s1a, while  
swap on the same disk was ad12b. Now its ad12a, but no harm done so I  
ignored it.
