I have an ESDI and a SCSI disk in my PC running NetBSD 0.9, both disks
have swap partitions on them.  After running for a while my console
comes up with:

To me it looks like the swap partition on my SCSI disk is not
specified correctly *BUT* I have not changed this from when I was
running 386BSD (a week or so ago) and there were not any problems back
then.  This is the output from swapinfo:

Device     1024-blocks       Used  Available   Capacity
/dev/wd0b        33388          4      33384       0%
/dev/sd0b        33012        132      32880       0%
Total            66400        136      66264       0%

The first time this happened to me I rebooted and the problem went
away but now it's back again.  Is this a known bug?  or a setup
problem on my part...
