A few things to be carefull of here. If you made the boot floppy with
mkbootdisk, it will have the wrong root directory after the drive swap,
unless you edit /etc/fstab and make the boot disk with the new settings.
If you mount any other partitions on boot, they will also be wrong
unless you edit /etc/fstab before the swap. Having swap trying to mount
the wrong partition is not too bad, as it should abort with an error.
Other partitions can be a problem. (If you are using partition labels,
instead of devices names, this is not a problem.)
