This is an RTFM:
DRIVE LAYOUT CONSIDERATIONS
vinum drives are currently BSD disk partitions. They must be of type
vinum in order to avoid overwriting data used for other purposes. Use
disklabel -e to edit a partition type definition. The following display
shows a typical partition layout as shown by disklabel:
8 partitions:
# size offset fstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg]
a: 81920 344064 4.2BSD 0 0 0 # (Cyl. 240*- 297*)
b: 262144 81920 swap # (Cyl. 57*- 240*)
c: 4226725 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 2955*)
e: 81920 0 4.2BSD 0 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 57*)
f: 1900000 425984 4.2BSD 0 0 0 # (Cyl. 297*- 1626*)
g: 1900741 2325984 vinum 0 0 0 # (Cyl. 1626*- 2955*)
In this example, partition g may be used as a vinum partition. Parti-
tions a, e and f may be used as UFS file systems or ccd partitions. Par-
tition b is a swap partition, and partition c represents the whole disk
and should not be used for any other purpose.

It shouldn't have.
I suppose I should add a better error message.
