I just did it on two machines, and if you are using vinum you have to: 1. Make a kernel with "pseudo-device vinum" in its config file (or copy vinum.ko to /modules, but I have not tested this) 2. Make /sbin/vinum in /usr/src/sbin/vinum. Otherwise you will probably get lost (I had my /usr partition on a vinum device, thus ending up with a "chicken and egg" problem).
