What kernel? The kernel needs to know where root and swap are.
Frmo GENERIC:

config bsd swap generic

That bit says root on partition A, swap on partition B. You
need to build a custom kernel with something like:

config bsd root on wd0a swap on wd1b

Haven't a clue if will work, thought. What I'd do is
make a small swap on wd0 in addition to partition B on wd1. Then
change the config to somethign like:

config bsd root on wd0a swap on wd0b and wd1b

I do something similar with swap spread over 3 scsi drives.

hana[marc]$ swapctl -l

/dev/sd2b 1048464 0 1048464 0% 0
