Is there a way to say:
config root on sd0a swap on sd0b then sd1b then sd2b and sd3b
This could be useful. What if you have a drive or two that is really fast,
and a couple of dog slow ones. You want to swap to all of them, but hit the
fast drives first?
What if, instead of being a drive, it's a region of RAM that is slower than
normal RAM (ie: 16 bit RAM in a 32 bit Amiga). It'd be nice to swap to that
before hitting a disk.
