Have you done 'vinum start' yet? If that doesn't work, does 'vinum read vinumdrive0 vinumdrive1' work? Other simple things to check: if you've booted single-user, be sure to remo= unt the root filesystem read-write by doing mount -o rw / before vinum can create devices. You can force vinum to recreate the device nodes by doing vinum makedev If all that doesn't work I'm also at a loss as to what it can be.
