  I never thought about this way myself ;-) This should work quite well
  if done careful and if the swap partion is below the 4gig barrier (I
  guess dcp doesn't support accessing partitions above that barrier)

  Its not there. Years ago I fetched a version from a ftp server of
  FH Regensburg but I don't remember its exact location.

  I use GoBSD because of the fact that it can load the kernel directly from
  the root partition. At least my version still works with kernels upto
  1.4.1 (the newest NetBSD version I tested). I guess GoBSD will stop working
  if NetBSD/amiga stops using a.out (will this happen some day?)
