Okay,
Last time I did it different but hey, this works fine:
# dd if=/dev/zero of=testimage bs=1m count=10
# vnconfig -s labels -c vn0 testimage
or
# vnconfig -v -S 10m -Z -s labels vn0 testimage
Now you can:
# disklabel -r -w vn0 auto
and
# newfs -m 0 vn0c
or add some slices in the disklabel and newfs them
The result can be mounted with
# mount -t ufs /dev/vn0c /mnt

It fails on me when I don't use -s labels, which you need for creating the
disklabels. (a=root part, b=swap, c=whole, d-z=user def)
