- Hmm, this sounds like a problem I had when I tried to have the swap and root
- partitions on two different drives. I'm not around my Amiga at the moment,
- but I believe the generic kernel in the distribution expects the root and
- swap partitions to be on the same drive. If you build your own kernel,
- you can change this behavior in the kernel configuration file
- (ie. .../src/sys/arch/amiga/conf/YOURMACHINE)...
