:I've wasted enough of my few spare time on this convoluted piece of code.  Somebody else go and wonder why again some function returns nil.  Not with me.

:In case somebody wants to write a nice installer, I'm all for it.  Either you wrap your head around this lua stuff, or you write nice code, I'd say in ruby.

    You know what I would like you to do if possible, Simon?  Fix the
    vinum auto-start code for root vinums to take the device to read the
    config from from a kernel environment variable instead of scanning
    available devices.  And then scrap the vinum start junk.  I will
    reenable the write-to-label-area code right now.  I'll chalk
    it up as a win if you can boot from a vinum root with HEAD.
