I use 
/dev/sd0b none swap sw
in my fstab. However, to swap on anoter disk than the boot disk, you
need to recompile a kernel, with a line like
  config      netbsd  root on wd0 swap on wd0 and sd0 and sd1 and sd2 and sd3
instead of 
  config      netbsd  swap generic
  options     GENERIC
in your config file.
