Although I'm using freebsd-stable I thought this might be more appropriate
on -questions. Please move as necessary if it is not.
I've followed the instructions exactly on the faq (many times over) about
adding swap and it seems that there is a step that I am missing. Here's
what I have:
Stable version: FreeBSD 3.1-STABLE #4
in the kernel: pseudo-device vn 1
i've also tried: pseudo-device vn
I've done a ./MAKEDEV vn0 in /dev
odin# ls -al vn0
brw-r----- 1 root operator 15, 0x00010002 May 4 12:04 vn0
(other vn0x devices exist as well including vn0c)
I've done a dd if=/dev/zero of=/usr/swap0 bs=1024k count=64
chmoded /usr/swap0 to 0600
odin# ls -al /usr/swap0
-rw------- 1 root wheel 67108864 May 4 12:05 /usr/swap0
However each time rc.conf or myself tries to enable the swap file I get
the same error message:
odin# vnconfig -ce /dev/vn0c /usr/swap0 swap
vnconfig: open: Device not configured
Has something changed in how one is supposed to add swap? Please reply
directly as I'm not subbed to the list. Thanks much in advance.
