I believe this to be a bug with bdf.  I formally reported it to the
HP-UX development group a while back so I expect it will be resolved 
in a future release.  You are correct that this problem only occurs
on cnodes with local swap space, when the /dev/dsk/ directory is present
on the cnode.

Try deleting the cnode's /dev/dsk/ directory.  You probably don't refer to 
this directory anywhere anyway, because /etc/checklist isn't necessary to 
find the swap disk on the cnode.  This has solved the problem here.  The 
/dev/rdsk/ directory doesn't seem to cause any problems.
