FWIW, I believe these are just boot-time defaults.

It'd seem more wrong to me if it'd try to swap to a nonexistent
partition ;) Just in case, what is the output of 'swapctl -l' straight
after boot, preferably when still single-user?
You might want to keep sd0b around as a dump partition though, just in
case it ever panics before going multiluser...
