Here is the diff of GENERIC.pmax vs MARC1:

I have also tried using the "config netbsd swap generic" with the same 
results. I believe that I'm not alone in this observation, as I received this 
message from Andrew Gallatin at Duke (I hope he doesn't mind me forwarding 
this):

Subject: Re: netbsd-pmax

I've managed to get the swap added via some real hacks.  In the file 
src/sys/arch/pmax/dev/rz.c

I uncommented some code in rzgetinfo & changed the default disk label
to exactly match the partition info on my root disk.  This seemed to
get the swap added.

break() is still failing, and not giving memory... I think there might
be a type problem.  

In obreak, the line (74 in src/sys/vm/vm_unix.c):
if ((int)(new - old) >  p->p_rlimit[RLIMIT_DATA].rlim_cur)

is making it return.  In my case, I'm getting 
obreak: (new)10020000 - (old)10000000 ?> ffffef3c

I've got to run now.  Would you mind sending me whatever file that it
is that sup uses to compare times?  I would like to trick it into only
grabbing the files that I need if sun-lamp ever comes up again ;-)

Thanks!

Drew

I haven't yet investigated this, but hope to later this morning (it's raining, 
so I can't mow the lawn as I had planned to 8-).
