Paul,

I'm sure you don't mean to use the entire disk for a swap space, right? (maybe I 
shouldn't have had that last peice of cheese cake.) Anyway, you could probably get 
away easily with making a swap partition on just one of the drives and allow both OS's 
to access and use it. I've done that before with two Linux installations and it worked 
nicely. I don't see how or why BSD would mind.
