	FreeBSD 5.x and 5.0 - RELEASE
>Description:
	Even though there appears to be more than enough RAM on modern
	machines for the install to complete without a swap partition,
	it still refuses to install unless you allocate a swap partition.
	This is particularly annoying if your swap partition is going to
	be on an extended slice.
>How-To-Repeat:
	Try to isntall without creating a swap partition.
