Not really. I suspect a compiler bug is most likely.

RiscBSD ignores swap entries in fstab.

A machine independant change was made to NetBSD which stopped RiscBSD from
picking up the swap location from the bootloader. The algorithm now used is to
take the root device and use partition b as swap. To change this you have to
recompile your kernel and explicitly specify the swap location in the config
file.
