- With 16 meg of memory, I am a little leary of having only
- a 5 meg swap partition. I installed 0.1 on another drive,
- then added it as the second drive, so it has another 5 meg
- swap partition defined. However I can't get swapon(8) to
- add the wd1b partition. Mumbles something about "device
- not configured". I tried using disklabel to mark that
- partition as swap instead of unused (why does install mark
- wd0b as unused instead of swap?) but it didn't help.
- Anyone have any luck with a second swap partition?
