You need to type 'swapon /dev/ra0d' and add the following line to your
/etc/fstab file (so that it automatically adds the second swap partition
after you reboot):

	/dev/ra0d::sw:0:0:::

The kernel will only swap on the primary (first listed on the config line)
swap partition until told to do otherwise by the swapon command.  The /etc/rc
file does a swapon -a, which checks for swap partitions listed in /etc/fstab
and enables swapping on them.
