I'm running 386bsd on a ah1542b with as0a as root, as0b swap, as0h /usr.
Yesterday I installed Julian Elischers (thank you, Julian), scsibeta2.1
release because my DAT tape (DEC TLZ04) was never recognized by the as
driver. With the above SCSI driver it is recognized.

But I have a strange behaviour when booting. I always get 
no swap space present (yet)   and  later: 
savecore: device not configured as0b.

I could not figure out where this string occurs in the kernel code. I did a 
strings 386bsd and the only string 'as' was in wdswfdwtas (or something like )
which I located in autoconf.c. The new driver is using sd0 instead of as0.
I'm not using wd0 (wdc0) in my config file. Should I? Presently I don't 
know whether my system is using swap space at all. Following the messages
it does not but I did a lot of kernel builds etc. on the system without
problems. I'd rather solve this problem than continue to live with it.

Any help/comments etc. are much appreciated.
