So, since vinum was not working, I tried to create a CCD, and recalling the discussion on the lists, remembered someone talking about this..
It looks like the needed FS_CCD disklabel changes didn't make it to the docs.. attached is a patch for ccd(4) and ccdconfig(8). not sure what else is lurking in the docs related to the disklabel changes... Thanks, - Chris
