Gvinum problems

Rename doesn't appear to work. Trying to reproduce on other hardware.

Handbook is a bit of a mess.

  • Despite using gvinum everywhere as recommended in 20.1, you need to use 'vinum' in the bsdlabel.
  • Too many references to 4.X
  • Too much nonsense about nomenclature, not enough actual how-to or why-to.
  • Remind not to use identical names.
