Guys,
	I'm trying to get vinum (geom) happening in BETA7, but I'm finding 
that 'resetconfig' it not available yet (among other commands).. Anyone 
have any ideas on:

a) when it will become available?
b) will geom vinum be stable enough for 5.3?
c) when the man pages will be written for it?

Thanks!

Ryan.
