This is what I originally did (except I used /dev/ad1s1b as that is what
my /etc/fstab entry for swap is)

I tried the above, and got 2 error messages during dmesg (and an
unmountable system)

	swapon: /dev/ad1s1b: Device not configured
	mfs: /dev/wd0s1b: No such file or directory

man mount_mfs was one of the pages I read; couldn't decipher that one
which was I originally asked for a tutorial somewheres.

This is a fresh install of 4.0, not upgraded from 3.x. When I was in 3.x
my devices were wd_ as I remember noting they now seem to be called ad_

Any other ideas?
