It's also possible (depending on which phase you're at) that you've not made a swap partition. Note also that the handbook typically refers to -stable, not -current. That may be irrelevant in this particular case, however, as I don't know of any tests on 4M systems for 3.2. -- \\ The mind's the standard \\ Mike Smith \\ of the man. \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ -- Joseph Merrick \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
