>Description:
	"swapon /dev/sd0b" on a kernel configured with
	"swap on nfs and sd0" returns "not configured"
	This seems to be caused by line 311 of vm_swap.c:
	sp->sw_dev is NODEV for nfs swap - the whole
	swap table is ignored.
>How-To-Repeat:
	try to use additional swapspace on a diskless machine
>Fix:
	(perhaps part of a more general solution...)
	one could simply change this condition to include
	swp->sw_vp != NULL (like in swapinit, line 127)
	or assign a pseudo device number to a nfs block device...
