I cant remember if sysinstall gives you the option to decoide
partition letters or not off the top of my head. I just
assumed that the partition marked as UFS with mount point / would
become 'a' and that the swap partition would become 'b'. Maybe thats what
the problem is - in which case is this something that can be fixed in
sysinstall ? I dont think its an uncommon idea for someone doing
an install to think "oh, I'lll give it 256M of swap and use all
the rest for the other bits" and thus put the 256M swap partition
first.
