Unfortunately, these instructions don't work with the -CURRENT branch -- or at least, not with the 5.0 RC1 release I've got. Specifically, the compile fails very early on with a syntax error over the kernel configuration line: pseudo-device vn 1 I can't seem to find any hint of what's happened to this option in the NOTES file. Any tips? Does 5.0 still support a swap file, and if so, is the procedure for using it documented anywhere? Thanks. -- Rod Smith rodsmith@rodsbooks.com http://www.rodsbooks.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
