I have been running with with 2/WD540 IDE drives, 2/320MB ESDIs and
a SCSI subsystem consisting of a 2.1GB Seagate, a CDROM and a
QIC150 tape for a year now.  This config is tested by me daily
and works flawlessly (mod my "experimental" stuff" :-)).  I sometimes
boot off of the IDEs and sometimes the Seagate.  I always have swap
space allocated on both.
