Ok.  I'm going to add to my own message, because I've done some digging
since I sent the original message.

vnconfig is in /usr/sbin/.  Which means (I'll assume) that "vnconfig -a"
cannot be called before "mount -a" is called.

So now my problem becomes, can anyone think of a way to easily mount my vnX
devices after vnconfig -a has been called.  I can add the appropriate lines
to an rc file if I had an idea of how to go about doing this.

My current problem is that I have the entries in my /etc/fstab, but I have
to leave marked "noauto".  If I do not the system will fail to boot with a
"Filesystem mount failed, startup aborted" error message.

Would there be a downside to copy/moving /usr/sbin/vnconfig to
/sbin/vnconfig, and then I could add the appropriate lines to an rc file?

Thanks to anyone who answers this,
-Chris
