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? -- I am created Shiva the Destroyer; Death, the shatterer of worlds! Who is this dog meat who stands before me now? That's the biz, sweetheart.
