So long as we don't have two disks with that label, we'll be fine...
So this is better than what we had, but not quite to where we need to get to....
Though the functionality we need to get there isn't in bsdinstall...

Well, when using a mirrored setup at least bsdinstall creates a /dev/gpt/efiboot0 and a /dev/gpt/efiboot1. What functionality do you think we need?

We should use the ESP we booted from with /dev/efi/esp.... which is a set of patches that aren't even half-assed yet in my tree...
