Has this been fixed in -stable?

There was the problem of $vinum_slices not being initialized
because it was being used before rc.conf had been sourced.

This led me to believe that he was running -stable and simply
posted to the wrong group.

The 'suck in rc.conf' part was moved to the top of rc after the split,
so i think this is the problem.

IMHO this should be back-ported to stable; seems safe enough to source
rc.conf before mounting non-root filesystems.  My system isn't mission
critical or anything, but I haven't run into any gotchas.

Cheers...  great project Greg!
