Argl, YES, swap _is_ the first partition:

$ bsdlabel ad0s1
# /dev/ad0s1:
8 partitions:
#        size   offset    fstype   [fsize bsize bps/cpg]
  a:   307200  1048857    4.2BSD     2048 16384     0
  b:  1048576        0      swap
  c: 156296322        0    unused       0     0         # "raw" part, don't edit
  d: 155247730  1048592     vinum

As you can see, first comes swap, then the rest of the drive is dedicated
to vinum.

Does that mean I have to rearranged or never build world again?
