I'm also having a problem with a 2nd IDE drive under 386BSD-0.1+pk0.2.4.  If I try
to use an additional swap partition on the 2nd drive, my disk label eventually gets
corrupted.  Fortunately, I had saved a backup disk label on the other drive and I
could boot and restore the corrupt label so nothing is lost.  Other than that, the
2nd IDE drive works flawlessly.  I've checked my disklabel to ensure that the swap
partition is not overlapping anything.

Has anyone else seen such a problem?

I should probably mention that I'm using a VLB IDE controller with two separate IDE
interfaces as opposed to a single interface in a master/slave mode.
