You need to add a proper line in /etc/fstab that shows which partition you have set aside for swap space. For instance mine looks like: charon@hades[01:21]/home/charon$ grep swap /etc/fstab /dev/ad0s3b none swap sw 0 0 Adjust ad0s3b as needed, to point to your swap partition, and the boot scripts of FreeBSD will take care of enabling swapping on it. > I'm just wondering if this is due to a miscompiling of the kernel, > or if there should be some modules compiled for virtual memory, or > if this is just a plain fact of Freebsd.
