It wasn't completely unintended.....
However the code that remounts root rw does get slightly confused with
the 'noauto' entry for "/" - I suspect it ought to be taught to look at
the flags and ignore lines with noauto.

Possibly sysinst shouldn't write that line with '/' in it though.

You might want to mount wd0a....

sysinst does try to spot that one, and will not default to creating
a swap partition if there is one already there (inc. linux mbr swap ptn).

In any case the two installs share the same disklabel, so they will both
find the same swap partition(s).  Also the system will dump to wd0b based
(IIRC) on a kernel build parameter, not the disklabel!

Getting two netbsd installs bootable off the same disk was fun...
