/boot/loader.conf not fixing vinum issue

I have two vinum volumes on my system; one, a mirrored volume, is /usr,
and the other is mounted to /usr/storage.

After updating to 5.3-RELEASE, boot into multi-user mode fails with a
dangling vnode panic.

According to the Errata:

    (31 Oct 2004, updated on 12 Nov 2004) The vinum(4) subsystem works
    on 5.3, but it can cause a system panic at boot time. As a
    workaround you can add vinum_load="YES" to /boot/loader.conf.

So I did that.

And it doesn't fix it.

Using gvinum seems like a really bad idea at the moment, given that it's
only about half-done.

What should I try next?

Thanks!
