Ok, this is still netboot that's complaining. It's managed to mount the directory OK, but can't open the file. I suspect that because it can't authenticate itself, it's actually being mapped to "nobody", who can't operate on the swapfile that you've created. Try changing the permissions on it, or chown it to nobody. Please let me know how you go here, so I can amend the notes accordingly. -- \\ Sometimes you're ahead, \\ Mike Smith \\ sometimes you're behind. \\ mike@smith.net.au \\ The race is long, and in the \\ msmith@freebsd.org \\ end it's only with yourself. \\ msmith@cdrom.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
