That's all I should need, right? heh, wasn't able to figure out the format in fstab so i have a "hack" in rc.local: echo 'mounting mfs /tmp.' mount_mfs -s 160000 -o nosuid,nodev /dev/wd0s3b /tmp /dev/wd0s3b is my swap partition. if anyone would document this better..... i'd appreciate knowing a "real" way to do this. thanks.
