Hi,

  A local semi-diskless 2.2 system panics a lot because it has a very
small swap size (48M RAM, 64M swap, and netscape 4 running !  :^) ).
It has a dos partition, and I'm now trying to use the windows 95
swap file as a secondary swap (vnconfig, etc).  But the DOS partition
is too slow, and this makes the whole system a lot slower.  I'd like
to make the swap system sequential, instead of interleaved, and use
the DOS swap ONLY when the other one is full.

  I've searched the swapinfo and kernel sources, and found the
SW_SEQUENTIAL bit of the swdevt.sw_flags.  But I could not see
its usage anywhere else.  Is it supported in FreeBSD 2.2-stable ?

  TIA,

					Jonny
