All the disklabels are "fictitious"; that shouldn't be a problem. Are
you running 1.4 final? I am, and I can now have / and /usr on separate
disks for the first time since 1.3K.

Also, try setting up sd1b as the dump device, too. As in
	
	/dev/sd1b none swap dp
	/dev/sd1b none swap sw

Without that, you'll still try to dump on sd0b, which doesn't exist.
I've had problems on mac68k before with disks with no swap, but that
was before the 'dp' option was available. It _may_ help you--it does
work fine on i386, but I have never tried on the mac. If not, you
could try my old work-around, which was to make a very tiny swap
partition on the root disk.
