In the disklabel editor I get the message "Unable to swap to /dev/wd0s1b: Device not configured. This may cause intallation to fail at some point if you don't have a lot of memory. This is true. I've attempted to install many times (Cyrix 133 w/16 megs RAM) and get a dump every time. My question is, how can I "configure the device" so that the swap space will work? The system I'm installing on has nothing but the fresh drive, a cdrom and a floppy drive. Thanks for helping a newbie. -Matt To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
