|   I would like to add swap space on NetBSD-current Jan 9.  Although the
| system reports sd0c has been added as swap space, the swapinfo give me
		 ^^^^
| a floating exception error.  I found it's because the size is not added
| into kernel and the swapinfo make a divided by zero error.  Here is my
| configuration file and partition table.
|
| [...]
| 5 partitions:
| #        size   offset    fstype   [fsize bsize   cpg]
|   a:    61440   102400    4.2BSD     1024  8192    16   # (Cyl.   88*- 141*)
|   b:    61440   163840      swap                        # (Cyl.  141*- 195*)
|   c:   102400        0      swap                        # (Cyl.    0 - 88*)
|   d:  2032800        0    unused        0     0         # (Cyl.    0 - 1759)
|   e:  1807520   225280    4.2BSD     1024  8192    16   # (Cyl.  195*- 1759*)

	how on earth does this work?  last i heard, the c partition referred
	to the -whole- non-dos portion of the disk while the d partition
	referreed to the -whole- disk.

	did i miss something somewhere, or is the above disklabel  extremely
	bad?
