  It means you don't have any vnode devices configured in your kernel.
What, you ask, is a vnode disk driver?  See:

0:  man 4 vn

Once you've read the manpage and grok what's going on, then do the
rest of this:

1:  MAKEDEV vn0

2:  Add a 'pseudo-device vn'  to your kernel config.

3:  Recompile, reboot, be happy.
