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)?
