My understanding of "invol" (and I will admit up front, that I have not made a 
multidisk volume) is that option 1 initializes the disk (or disks) as a single
logical volume, and that you only need to use option 2 if you wish to split the
disk (or disks of a multiple disk volume) into more than one logical volume.
Option 8 is always needed to create a OS paging file on a disk that you wish
to boot the system from. The "n" modifier to options 1, 2, and 3 (non-bootable
volume) only means that there will not be a "sys" and "sys/node_data" and a boot
block(s) put onto the logical volume.
