   I am running FreeBSD 1.1R.
   Today I installed the second IDE drive.
   The drive is labled so partition a and e are ufs and b is swap.
   I have modified my and added /dev/wd1b as a swap partition, like wd0b.
   I have also modified fstab to mount /dev/wd1a and /dev/wd1e, they both work 
as expected.  But swapon -a gives me device not configured.  What have I done 
wrong or not done?

   Thanks!
