I looked through disklabel(8) to see if something else could be done, and 
I tried lots of other things. I've used "-I -i" for ages, and I see:

      -I    If a label cannot be read from disk request the default one from

I'll play with it some more.

Right now I'm using GPT wedges, so I'll give it another try with 
disklabel. Perhaps a properly disklabeled disk will boot automatically.
