- /etc/swap -l will tell you. If there is only one swap area, it is
- the configured swap area from the kernel, and that shouldn't be an
- issue. If it is a secondary swap area (as seems likely, since it was
- on disk 3), then some rc script in /etc/rc2.d most likely has been
- added locally that has swap -a commands in it. Check the values
- against prtvtoc -s dks0d3vh (or whichever disk is appropriate).
