[Please leave me in the Cc:, I'm not subscribed] [Cc:'d freebsd-small thinking those folks might have some ideas] I've got a P100 laptop with 8MB of RAM on which I'd like to install FreeBSD. My only install option on this laptop is a network install, as it has no CDROM. I have a PCMCIA NIC that works with the xe driver. Upon booting with kern and mfsroot floppies, I am given the option to configure PCMCIA services, which I do. However, I am unable to select xe0 as an install device. Switching to ttyv1 reveals an error message indicating that the installer could not launch pccardd because it ran out of swap space. Does anyone have recommendations on how to free up enough memory to run pccard during the install? I can build custom install floppies if necessary, I've got other FreeBSD/i386 machines. -- "Never put off until tomorrow what you can do today.
