Subject: Sharing SWAP between FreeBSD versions

      I'm fixing to repartition my disks and wondering if I can share my
32M swap between any two FreeBSD versions I might have installed at the
same time.  Anybody know?

      A related questions is, is swap a "raw" partition in the sense that
FreeBSD doesn't rely on it having any structure to use it?

Thanks,
