I thought I'd give the new Vinum support a whirl on an AlphaServer
1000A running NetBSD/alpha 1.6-CURRENT.  Alas, I can't build a kernel
with "pseudo-device vinum" included in the kernel config file.  A
warning generated by /usr/src/sys/dev/vinum/vinumdaemon.c is treated
as an error and causes the build to fail.  Here is my latest
build attempt (with fresh cvs update):

<<<<<

I've written to grog@netbsd.org (the committer) about it, but heard
nothing back.

My last build problems turned out to be a local problem, so I figured
I'd best see if this worked for others before I even began to think
about submitting a PR this time. ;-)

Cheers,

Paul.
