I had a question about importing a swap partition. I checked the FAQ's
and couldn't find anything. I've repartitioned my drive to install
FreeBSD, however, I can't get through the install until I've allocated
some swap space ofcourse. My problem is this: The space I'd like to use
is it's own 10mb partition. What I'd like to do is import it into the
FreeBSD partition (as section b i believe). The only thing is, that I
don't know what hex value to mark it as so that when I import it using
the disklabel utility it will be recognized. I assume this is how one
would do this. In any case, I don't have any room on the actual BSD
partition to allocate the swap, so I'm doing it in a seperate partition.
I realize I could repartition the whole drive but that would be too easy ;-).
Any help or tips on how to import a seperate partition into my BSD
partition as swap would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot and thanks
for writing such a great OS!
