... as I found when going ahead with the second installation.

One thing that I thought was strange:  on the second installation (to
wd0e), sysinst wrote the following fstab:

/dev/wd0a / ffs rw,noauto 1 1
/dev/wd0b none swap sw 0 0
/dev/wd0e / ffs rw 1 1
/dev/wd0f none swap sw 0 0
kernfs /kern kernfs rw
procfs /proc procfs rw,noauto

Is this the intended behavior?  I ended up removing the first two
lines.  I guess I should be sharing a swap disklabel-partition between
the two installations, but that didn't occur to me until later.

Thanks for the help, and for the great software.
