Everything works fine, except when I try to add NFS swap in the /tftpboot/cfg.xxx file. The system panics in the pager during boot. The lines I added are : swapfs :/export/swap swapsize 20000 If I remove these lines, I can boot the system fine with no swap. Is there something special to do, in addition to the creation of the file /export/swap/swap. ? Maybe a special kernel config option ? The documentation about diskless configuration does not say anything special. -- Pierre Beyssac pb@fasterix.frmug.fr.net pb@fasterix.fdn.fr FreeBSD, NetBSD, Linux -- Il y a moins bien, mais c'est plus cher.
