AH, i found the error:

the configfile was named gvinum.conf

Thus vinum _did_ load but could nog find any disks.

Now i renamed it to /etc/vinum.conf it starts up, reconizes all the plexes and disks and tells every part is up.

The error is see is:

Mounting root from ufs:/dev/gvinum/root
set root by name failed
ffs_mountroot: can't find rootvp
Root mount failed: 6

Then it goes to manual root filesystem specification.

Any ID?
