I am attempting to install FBSD on an old 486 laptop with 8M of ram and a 250M HD. I have heard that this is no problem, yet I keep encountering the same error during the device probe (swap_pager_getswapspace: failed). Does anyone have any work arounds for this? Can I establish a swap partition on the HD this early in the install, or is adding more ram my only option? My goal is a "bare-bones" install for educational purposes. Any help would be gratly appreciated.
