	Okay, I have an old '030 Cube with the 40M swap drive, an external
660M Fujitsu, the OD, and now a new CD-ROM (NeXT).  When installing 3.0 I
noticed something very strange about where the OS was mounting the
swapdrive...It seemed as if it randomly decided between /swapdisk and
/private/swapdisk when it booted, mounting the swapdrive on one of those
two directories.  I noticed this problem both before and after I had
installed 3.0.  Anybody have an explanation?

Further info: Using SCSIInquirer it gives me SCSI ID of 1 for the Fujitsu,
 4 for the CD-ROM, and 6 for the 40M Quantum.  When it mounts them,
The Fujitsu goes to sd0a, the Quantum to sd1a or sd2a, and I can't
remember what it mounts the CD-ROM to...?

	
	Oh, and NeXT is serious when they say not to run other applications
when installing 3.0.  I forgot that Preferences was running and spent about
3 hours wondering why Upgrade_3.0 kept bombing on me...

	Bleck...
