I believe "options GENERIC" has to go hand in hand with what I think
I've heard called "generic swap". If your "config netbsd" line says
"config netbsd swap generic", you must have "options GENERIC",
otherwise you must not.
I beg forgiveness if my 1.1-based understanding of the situation reeks
of anachronism. It's possible this is all changed in -current, but I
doubt it.
