I have defined a second swap partition on a secondary drive in
NetBSD/vax. The one I want to use is /dev/ra4b. I've disklabelled and
modified /etc/fstab, but I get "device not configured" when I try to
run swapon -a.

Why?

I think I may have to modify the kernel to accept secondary swap, on
the "config" line. Now it just says "swap generic". If this is the
case, what's the proper terminology? In 386BSD it would be "swap on
ra0 and ra4" or somesuch.

Thanks,

Kevin
