Hi!
I have a problem with an installation of FreeBSD 2.2-970618-RELENG.
First of all a small note: The installation program tried to install
XFree86 3.3, which where NOWHERE to be found
even close to something called 2.2.
Now... My problem is that my computer wont swap.
Why is this not working?
ocean# swapon -a
swapon: /dev/wd0b: Device not configured
ocean# dir /dev/*wd0b*
crw-r----- 1 root operator 3, 1 Jun 23 01:43 /dev/rwd0b
brw-r----- 1 root operator 0, 1 Jun 23 01:43 /dev/wd0b
ocean# cat /etc/fstab
# Device Mountpoint FStype Options Dump Pass#
/dev/wd0b none swap sw 0 0
/dev/wd0a / ufs rw 1 1
[...]
It didn't work with the default kernel, so I tried compiling something from
a pretty unchanged GENERIC, and then even added NSWAPDEV to it.
Here's a part of my config file:
[...]
options UCONSOLE #Allow users to grab the console
options FAILSAFE #Be conservative
options NSWAPDEV=2
config kernel root on wd0
controller isa0
controller eisa0
controller fdc0 at isa? port "IO_FD1" bio irq 6 drq 2 vector fdintr
disk fd0 at fdc0 drive 0
options "CMD640" # work around CMD640 chip deficiency
controller wdc0 at isa? port "IO_WD1" bio irq 14 vector wdintr
disk wd0 at wdc0 drive 0
disk wd1 at wdc0 drive 1
[...]
I really can't figure out what's wrong. I never used to have any problems
with swap before. Anybody got any clue? Any checklist I should go through?
Help me anyone? *puppy eyes* :-)
