	Taking a wild guess...  You added the B partition of an
	RA82 (or similar) as additional swap space.

	Did you also add a line to /etc/fstab to tell swapon(8)
	to start using that device for paging and swapping.  The
	line should look something like:

		/dev/ra#b::sw:0:0:::

	You can fill in the '#' with the drive number.
