Re: vinum root issue on 5.3-Beta2

just an additional note to this, if I boot it the 1st way, and add a new set 
of drives (mirror -n m-usr -v /dev/ad0s1d /dev/ad2s1d) it does that one 
correctly, again.. until I reboot using that setup, which the vinumdriveX 
associated with /dev/ad2 all show referenced.
