    I did think of that after I sent the message and was going to do a
    follow up but got dragged off. The trick is that /dev/wd0b may not
    necessarily be swap :-) If you boot from a scsi disk then, unless you
    changed your kernel conf, your swap will be /dev/sd0b - /dev/wd0b may
    very well be your /usr/local/stuff partition. Having b as swap is
    convention only not a hard rule.
