Only one step:
mdconfig -f file
or
mdconfig -d -u 1
In stable, the first would have been "mdconfig -a -t vnode -f file".

FreeBSD slan.es.net 7.0-CURRENT FreeBSD 7.0-CURRENT #0: Mon Mar 19 09:07:43 PDT

A couple of seconds after I issue the command (which creates or deletes
/dev/md1), I get the messages.

All ports are current except p5-Cairo which won't build the new version.
