Well,  it hasn't been that easy.  The new machine is running 5.3.  At 
boot I receive:

panic: umount: dangling vnode
/ 
/when vinum loads at boot.  I get around this by starting vinum from 
rc.local.  The vinum device node (named stripe in this case) isn't in 
/dev/vinum.  Do I need to create it on the new machine.  I placed the 
old config file in /etc/vinum.conf.  Is vinum supposed to create the 
nodes automatically?   Thanks much.
