I have a 3/160 running 4.0.1 and am using the following config line:
config vmunix swap on xy0b swap on xy1b
In addition, I have the following entries in my /etc/fstab:
/dev/xy0b n/a swap n/a 0 0
/dev/xy1b n/a swap n/a 0 0
What happens with this setup is:
When the system boots, it starts by swapping on /dev/xy1b. Then
in /etc/rc, a line which reads:
swapon -a >/dev/console 2>&1
is executed and I get the following message:
Adding /dev/xy0b as a swap device
The system is then swapping on xy0b and xy1b.
This works under both 4.0 and 4.0.1. I have yet to not encounter a syntax
error with the syntax listed by wnl. To the best of my knowledge and
RTFM'ing, this should be a syntax error. The manual "Installing the
SunOS" <which someone has currently removed from my office, so I can't be
more specific> contains the instructions which I used to come to this
point in configuring my system.
