The problem was:

> with the following statement in the config file:
>
> config vmunix root generic swap on sd2
>
> With SunOS 4.1.1 I am unable to do this. I tried:

>
> - config vmunix swap on sd2
>

> Nothing did the job. Does anybody know what I have to do?

The solution is to use:

    config vmunix swap on type spec sd2
