Try '/dev/wd1b none swap sw'. This works for me.

This sound like /netbsd is not the same kernel as the one you booted
with. I think it must be a copy or hard link to the kenel image. I do not
think a soft link will work.

Assuming that the vmstat binary is part of the UVM snapshot this is caused
by the same problem as 2. To resolve this copy RISCPC_uvm to /netbsd. rm
/var/db/kvm.db and then run kvm_mkdb. vmstat should then work correctly.

You can remove the old version if they have the same major version number.
