This allowed me to do an mdconfig having a /dev/mdcfg as block 17/128
but i can't do a disklabel on it, etc. Where is this documented? Or is
there an error with the user space mdconfig and md driver stuff? I
couldn't do a newfs on the md drive due to bad partition info. 
The md device that was configured could be dd'd from though, so it
existed. I am still poking around, but if it works on one port, why
doesn't it work on the others?
