I try to stay as close to the instructions as possible -- simple is better.
My venti.conf has the following:

% cat venti.conf
index main
isect /dev/sdC0/isect
arenas /dev/sdC0/arenas
%

my partitions on the disk are:

  9fat                   0 20482       (20482 sectors, 10.00 MB)
  swap               20482 1273392     (1252910 sectors, 611.77 MB)
  fossil           1273392 25599169    (24325777 sectors, 11.59 GB)
  arenas          25599169 153492606   (127893437 sectors, 60.98 GB)
  isect          153492606 160071596   (6578990 sectors, 3.13 GB)
  nvram          160071596 160071597   (1 sectors, 512 B )

with this setup I haven't had any problems with venti.
