I'm having problems getting NetBSD to recognise my swap-partition. I'm
booting from a partition on a SCSI-disk, but the swap-partition is on
one of the IDE-disks.

NetBSD recognizes the IDE-drive with the swap-partition on when booting
up, but it reports "No swap partition found" even though the partition
has the right idenntifier.

If I mount the swap-partition with mount_mfs, the right size is
displayed by 'mount', but the IDE drive-light never blinks.
If I mount it on /tmp, everything written to /tmp really
goes to RAM, so the system hangs if I copy in 3-5MB.

This fstab entry together with 'mount -av' yields the same result:
/dev/sd0b      /tmp     mfs      rw

Filesystem  1K-blocks    Used   Avail Capacity  Mounted on
/dev/sd2a        9823    9054     277    97%    /
adosfs              1       1       0   100%    /ados/dh1
mfs:30          14894       2   14147     0%    /tmp
etc..

If I change the identifier to NBU\1 and use it as a normal NetBSD-
partition (with swap on a SCSI-drive), everything works fine.

Could somebody fix this so that swap-partitions on IDE drives is
reconized even though the system is booted from a partition on a
SCSI-drive? (Search the SCSI-drives for boot-partitions first, then
the IDE-drives or something.)

Here is what disklabel reports for the IDE-disk that the swap-partition
is on:
