Due to a current lack of swap space - I am wanting to add some more.
I have repartitioned by drive wd1 to include a swap partition at 
partition b.

When I try to start using the space, I get the error:
swapon: /dev/wd1b: device not configured

[this is using both swapon -a (having adjusted /etc/fstab accordingly)
and swapon /dev/wd1b]

Any help from anyone?

The output from 'disklabel -r wd1' is:


root@ma4:~ # disklabel -r wd1
fcbb failed checksum - assuming no ADFS partition
# /dev/rwd1c:
