/dev/wd0b /tmp mfs rw 0 0
in my /etc/fstab. Are you sure wb1b is your primary swap partition?
The default swap is the second partition of the first disk, which is
wd0b on IDE systems, and I think you need to recompile the kernel to
let it use wd1 for root/primary swap. I don't know if mount_mfs will
be happy to be given a secondary swap partition.
