This is not correct.

If all else fails, read the manual:
RUNNING VINUM
vinum is part of the base FreeBSD system. It does not require installa-
tion. To start it, start the vinum program, which will load the kld if
it is not already present. Before using vinum, it must be configured.
See vinum(8) for information on how to create a vinum configuration.
Normally, you start a configured version of vinum at boot time. Set the
variable start_vinum in /etc/rc.conf to YES to start vinum at boot time.
