I'm still having trouble with diskless operation.  If I specify the
swap option in DHCP, the pxeboot chokes on it.  If I don't specify the 
swap there, things boot, but I have no swap.  There isn't an obvious
way to add nfs swap once a server is running.

Is there a way to do this in loader.conf or loader.rc?

Dave.
