i currently have my root filesystem on sd2a, but i cannot seem to get 
sd1a recognized as swap space.  the external drive is clearly physically 
connected, as it is read on boot.

i know that swap is initially looked for on the same drive as the system, 
but when i try to swapon sd1a, either though /etc/fstab or manually, i 
get a "device not configured" error

thoughts?
