As some else mentioned, no problem swapping on partitions other than
the b partition.  On a drive that you boot from (typically drive 0),
don't use the h partition (or any partition that starts at the
beginning of the disk) as a swap or raw partition as this will
clobber the boot block at some point.  On drives that you don't boot
from, the h partition is fair game.
