- But config should be able to determine the number of attached devices
- by the referenced controller - there are two disks (from the above)
- attached at wd0 - hence NWD should be two, not one (as config would
- do). And, using only one disk entry (commenting out the other), why
- would config generate a swap-struct referencing makedev(1,1), instead
- of makedev(0,1)?
