Why is this suboptimal ? It's fast done. It seems to work. Else you
have to say: "not supported, since it can panic your machine".

So why this isn't noted in the documentation ? Also the documentation
is not up to date. vinum(4) still refers to raw disks etc.

Vinum still doesn't support booting from a vinum volume.

If I do not switch jumpers, I'm not able to boot. I could also change the
SCSI boot ID in the BIOS, but then FreeBSD cannot boot into Multiuser,
since it cannot mount root from ad1s1a (it likes to do it from ad0s1a)
