I don't think we support the DHCP swap options. It looks like what you want to do is use the swapfile option in rc.conf to add a swapfile on a drive you are NFS mounting RW. > Also I wonder about the kenv variables dhcp.host-name and > dhcp.domain-name-servers.

The hostname gets set if options BOOTP is in the kernel but that's done directly in code in sys/nfsclient/. -- Brooks --=20 Any statement of the form "X is the one, true Y" is FALSE.
