- I use Online:Disksuite to shadow my root but not the swapspace. This is
- because the machine is an NFS server but we can tolerate the odd break
- of service as long as the machine can be back in a few minutes. This
- means I need to have a second kernel with its primary swap somewhere
- other than its usual place, so I can reboot in the face of a broken
- ``first'' disk.

- This works:
-
- config vmunix root on md0a swap on id000b
- config vmunixbackup root on md0a swap on id010b
-
- This complains about a syntax error on the ``backup'' line:
-
- config vmunix root on md0a swap on id000b
- config vmunix.backup root on md0a swap on id010b
-
- Anyone suggest why? I only found the fix by trial and error...
