I have the same problem on 4.10 with ide-disks (3ware controller),
but without mounting root via vinum.
Anyway, you might succeed if you tell vinum the names of the
devices it should use in /boot/loader.conf, eg. with:
vinum.drives="/dev/twed1 /dev/twed2 /dev/twed3 /dev/twed4"
there is also a vinum command 'read' which will read the configuration
from the drive(s) specified. Please note that if you do not specify
all drives in one command, vinum will not find the other drives and
complain about missing drives, marking the relevant volumes as
degraded or worse.
Hope this helps.
