Don't know, but I would most strongly advise

    1. Don't EVER put swap anywhere other than a 'b' partition.

    2. Don't EVER use a 'b' partition for anything other than swap.

That way, if disks get moved round you won't accidentally swap on a
filesystem (or get yards of errors trying to fsck a swap space).  And
if you have wildcarded disks in your config file these can easily float
around (particularly with external SCSI disks which can be powered off).
