It's pretty straightforward to have both /etc/fstab.domU +
/etc/fstab.native and have a small script in rc.conf.d that magically
updates the /etc/fstab link to either one of these files (given
kern.root_device value). It looks like a hack though, as GPT + wedges
could solve this. I am struggling with it though :)
