  | +       spb = vnd->sc_geom.vng_secsize / DEV_BSIZE;

Do we know for sure here that vng_secsize >= DEV_BSIZE ?

When I first used unix (long long ago) the drives I used had a
sector size of 256 bytes (not DEC hardware.)    (Floppies were
128 bytes if I recall correctly).

It would not be good if spb became 0 there.
