This is because the keywords have changed.  'device' is correct now.

The preferred way to install Vinum is with the kld.  Vinum and SPARC64
have only recently come together, which is why you may not have a kld
for Vinum.  If you have to build a kernel for Vinum, you should
include the following line:

options 	VINUMDEBUG	#enable Vinum debugging hooks

If that doesn't work, let me know and I'll see what else I can do.
