Hi folks,
did anyone ever try out this in a SysGen:

config    vmunix    root on nd swap on sd0 ?

I want to have local swap space on 3/50 served by a 3/60.  Attached to the
3/50 is a disk which I would like to use for swapping and local data only.
/ should reside on the network (as it did before the disk was attached to
the 3/50).  Unfortunately, this doesn't work. Boot complains panic because
rootmount could not mount root. Is it really forbidden to use two separate
devices for root and swap, resp.?  Michael
