I've been trying for a while to set up an armv7 RPI2 with a single root partition plus a swap partition at the end of mmcsd0. Letting firstboot invoke growfs seems not to help, since growfs leaves no space for swap. Attempts using gpart in single-user give the appearance of working, but on reboot the machine stops at the mountroot prompt. This method worked well in July of 2018. Seemingly, no more. Has something changed? Mounting the armv7 card on a second Freebsd box and making the changes appears to work also, but on the initial boot (firstboot disabled) the machine stops at the mountroot prompt on initial boot. If there's a better way to pursue the same end I'd be grateful for a hint. Perhaps giving a swap size parameter to firstboot? Thanks for reading, bob prohaska
