vinum State Down Help?

[Lee Dilkie]

i don't think you want to vinum a swap partition. you can just create the
swap partitions and add them to fstab( or if you run /stand/sysinstall to do
the disklabel, it'll populate fstab for you), the OS will nicely share
amongst all your swap partitions.

and if you only have one drive, why are you using vinum at all? am i missing
something?

Someone please correct me if I'm wrong.
