I know this topic has come up before, but how in the world do you get vinum
to load AND start itself at boot time so I don't have to repair my mirrored
volumes every reboot?

I have tried to add start_vinum="YES" to /etc/rc.conf but that ends in a
'panic dangling node' error.  I also tried to add vinum_load="YES" to
/boot/loader.conf and that will load vinum at boot without panicing on me,
but it doesn't start vinum and bring the mirrored devices up.  I have to
physically log into the server and type vinum start to bring up vinum.

What I want, is that on a reboot, vinum is loaded at boot and is started so
that I can mount my vinum drive through /etc/fstab

Any ideas/suggestions?
