To: questions@freebsd.org Date: Thu, 14 Sep 1995 10:52:58 -0500 (CDT) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4 PL17] Content-Type: text Content-Length: 600 Sender: questions-owner@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk A few of us are interested in primary local swap on dataless machines. Is it possible to boot FreeBSD and use vn0c as primary swap on either a dataless machine or the server? I have not met with success in my experiments. diskless boot seems to require the SWAPFS line be filled in. Can this be changed or does FreeBSD require swap before the disks are mounted?
