I have one swap partition of 256 Mb (twice the Ram) and the remaining 11,7 Gb to FreeBSD. mlxd0a SWAP 256 MB SWAP mlxd0b / 11786 MB UFS N So the problem might be due to this misconfigured slices , right ? I'm going to try again, putting the "a" slide first. Wich would be the best configuration for the slices ? Thanks...
