What is the type of sd0e in the disklabel of sd0?

After changing to Julian's drivers, my system reportet "no swap space present",
because my swap partition was labeled "unused" (which was fine with the as-
driver). Changing this to "swap" made it work.

Another point: Did you try to remove all object files and reconfigure and 
remake the kernel from scratch? Maybe something went wrong before...
