What partition type is this? On NetBSD/Amiga, the partition type (a long)
has to be 'NBS\0', or something much like it. (I may have misquoted.) This
immediately makes the partition show up as sdxb - and you can't have a second
on the same drive. FS_SWAP? I certainly agree in general principle.
I know I did serious damage by having /home be a filesystem and a swap space
on one of my machines. oops.
