fstab looks a standard run-of-the-mill fstab, ie. everything on "sd0?"
which means swap on sd0b, and as I do not have a "sd0b" for swap but have
the entire "sd0" disk(SCSI-id 0) for "root&usr&var" then swap is definitely
not setup.

I have an additional "sd1" disk where I have the "startup disk" for
MacOS(SCSI-id 2) and and a slice of 60MB set up though Silverlining to act
as the swap device
disklabel for the sd0 disk is "fictitious" and the second time I ran
disklabel for the sd1 disk the system panic'ed .....

Any ideas?
BTW: should "fstab force" produce a new /etc/fstab for me ? I cannot find
the "fstab" command anywhere...
