] Well it's a know bug in *BSD, that you shouldn't check partitions on
] two different wd-drives at the same time. So try changing the sixth parameter
] in /etc/fstab for the wd1 partitions. say from 2 to 3.

	Yes, it's a known bug and the solution is in the FAQ.  To avoid this
problem, recreate a kernel with swap enabled on both disks.  The config file
must contain:
config	"..."	root on wd0 swap on wd0 and wd1

	This causes the kernel to open wd0 and wd1 when it boots and there is
no more problem with fsck -p.
