That made no difference.  Here's something that was suggested to me 
though.  In src/sys/dev/vnd.c it says this.

Perhaps the Linux file system blocks are smaller than the NetBSD ones 
and we need this revision;

revision 1.255

Fall back to VOP_READ/VOP_WRITE if the simulated disk has smaller
sectors than the underlying filesystem and VOP_STRATEGY would fail.

What are the chances of getting a pullup on that?
