Hi Folks,
	I have a dual boot Windows95/NetBSD 1.3 system on a '686 class
machine - 32Mb real memory, 64Mb swap partition.

	Is it possible to have Windows95 and NetBSD share a swap partition,
e.g. by making a MSDOS paritition type and creating a swap file there when
running win95, but mounting and addressing it via a vnode and swapctl when
running NetBSD? I was figuring on just trying it, but if someone has had
any experience (positive or negative), I'd love to hear about it.

	Thanks.
