not that i know of.  i assume it works properly when you add a "vnd"
to the swap description in your config file, and uncomment the 'major'
declaration in the files.i386.newconf file?

actually, i dunno how that functionality was _supposed_ to work, but
it was ripped out of vnconfig the other day -- it's pretty much
extraneous, in any case.  if you just vnconfig the vnode and swapon to
it, it should work (and i believe you said it did!  8-).
