Well, maybe 'vinum start' is not needed.

        vinum l -> load vinum, but not teh disk conf
        vinum makedev -> clean the /dev/vinum directory
        vinum create ... -> tell vinum what the setup is.

Well, that happens if you post too late. The problem is (see a)) that it
does not automatically start, or rather, it tries but immediately
panicks. And vinum read panicks the system, as does vinum start.

The system is 3.3-STABLE, less than a week old.
