Couldn't we find a way to stop this?

uriah # vnconfig -c /dev/rvn0 fooimage 
uriah # Jan 30 23:51:48 uriah /kernel: vn0: invalid primary partition table: no magic

It's starting to get annoying.  Not only that any /dev/zero-created
empty file that we are about to disklabel during the release process
causes this bogus warning (until it's disklabeled -B), but fooimage
above was an cd9660 image, so the warning is not of much use.

Since the warning is not of interest for ``ordinary people'' anyway,
i'd vote for hiding it behind some debugging option (perhaps enabled
via sysconfig).

Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
