Well, we had the same problem recently, when we added a 3rd disk.  It turns
out the problem is this:

1) A magic number "MSWAPX" must be set equal to "NMOUNT"
2) MSWAPX cannot exceed 4 bits in size (due to a structure declaration in
   ../h/cmap.h).  Thus, the maximum for NMOUNT is 15 (decimal); the maximum
   for MSWAPX is also 15.
3) We run 8 filesystems per disk, thus we are SOL.
4) YUK.
