You can't stop swapping on a device under FreeBSD, and there's no need for a 'mkswap' command; if the device has a label, you can swap to it. I'm not sure which version of FreeBSD you're running, but boot with '-v' and see if you get a listing of which partitions are assigned to which slices. IIRC, 2.1 will pick up extended DOS partitions. If this is the case, I would expect to see the first DOS partition in the first extended partition to be /dev/?d?s5, and you could try working with that. (You will probably have to make a few appropriate device nodes) > marty leisner@sdsp.mc.xerox.com -- ]] Mike Smith, Software Engineer msmith@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] Genesis Software genesis@atrad.adelaide.edu.au [[ ]] High-speed data acquisition and (GSM mobile) 0411-222-496 [[ ]] realtime instrument control (ph/fax) +61-8-267-3039 [[ ]] "Who does BSD?"

Any experience out there with this aspect of install? The install is fine up to the "Network Config" screen. I do not fully understand what I should enter for : 1. Gateway 2. Name Server 3. IP Adress 4. Netmask I have a shell account on the netcom ISP and during the install I can connect with netcom via the term command in ppp mode. I am trying to use the ftp.cslab.vt.edu mirror site for install. The process fails and says "cannot resolve 'ftp.cslab.vt.edu'" Will someone please explain explicitly how the "network Config" screen should be entered?

Netmask All of those values should have been assigned to you by your ISP during the establishment of your SLIP/PPP account - it is impossible for us to tell you what to enter for these fields as they're different for each person. Also, this isn't actually the appropriate mailing list for your question - that's questions@freebsd.org.

So, I had a look to /dev and didn't find any entry for device ep0 there, nor on the distribution CD-ROM. Could somebody help me or at least point me to the right place? TIA.
