Sure, but printing at the default debug level would be nonetheless
surely worth doing.

When a network interface is configured, the corresponding ifconfig(8)
output is showed.  What about doing the same for glabel(8) ?

Of course the glabel(8) utility is not involved in the booting
process currently.  It would be pointless to print the output for
"glabel status" if no label is used at all.  However, printing
the glabel status at boot time would spot out configuration problems
though not prevent them.

It might be worth doing so for other geom classes as well, such as
gmirror, gstripe and others.
