Yeah, it could happen for other labels, I suppose.  The problem is that
the labels that appear dynamically depending oh whether or not a device
is mounted confuses hal.  If someone mounts /dev/cd0, unmounts it, then
sees /dev/cd9660/FREEBSD appear, that will cause hal to think a new
device was inserted.

That said, I've only seen this happen with UFS.
