Kernel Building and cmdtool?

We have a couple of dual swap machines. Be brave (after making backups)
and try:
In the config file:
config vmunix root on rf0 swap on rf0 and rf1
(Fix the rf to be whatever you really use.)
In /etc/fstab:
/dev/rf1b 0 swap swap 0 0
The zeroes, I'm told, are irrelevant. Experience says they don't hurt
anything. (Once again, you probably don't have rf.)
In /etc/rc:
/usr/etc/swapon -a
We have this immediately after the invocation of rc.local. I suppose one
might also put it in rc.local.
That ought to do it. Now rebuild the kernel according to standard
procedures, do the cp of vmunix, and use pstat -s to verify your success.
The number you're looking for is the sum of used and free. If you did
this before you started, comparing them will provide a bit of a morale
boost. Also, swapping on two drives seems to make the thing work better.
