Are you using swap on a slice 10? how is that possible when the i386/amd64 BIOS can't see more than 4 primary partitions? Kris, would you mind giving input to this? How can there be a s10, and how can you add swapspace to a device that isn't a partition 'b' nor a file backed swapspace? Those were the only two ways I thought was supported for swap. Dieter, does my questions above sound to be a correct interpretation of your disk setup? thanks! --Tim
