The WORMHOLE kernel is set up to do system coredumps to a swap
partition on drive 1.  If you have no such, don't worry about it.

WORMHOLE's main claim to fame is the ability to swap to a file
(via vnd0a) so that if you find yourself running short on swap
and cannot repartition, you can add some temporary swap space.
