>Description:
I just tried to install 3.0-981009-BETA on an ATAPI  zipdrive. I first
tried to install without swap, but no go; it seems to be required. 
When I tried to commit the installation with a swap device, Makedev
can't create the device entry for wfd0s1b. On the debug screen I see:

DEBUG: MakeDev: Invalid disk unit passed: d0s1b

For me, it would be handy to have a minimal FreeBSD system on a 
ZIP-disk for testing purposes.
>How-To-Repeat:
Boot boot.flp
Label and partition zipdisk (ie wfd0) with swap device
