I posted it on the freebsd-question list, and now i am dobutful about
it working with BSD as 'FreeBSD has several partitions(not the same
kind) on the same
slice(FreeBSD's equivalent to a partition).'

So AFAIK linux will only see one partition fopr BSD so unless i can
tell BSD to use a diff swap space outisde the allocated BSD slice, it
shall be an interesting experiment i guess
