What's this for?  The default is 4 devices.

I think you gotta disklabel the device first.  There's no /dev/vn0b
available otherwise.  Maybe you could use a plain /dev/vn0 without
a label.

I think there's even a knob in the rc files (or sysconfig for 2.2
systems) for swap files.

Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
