It is installed in a computer room and has no keyboard or mouse but does have a video card but this is not connected to a monitor. I have a terminal connected to sio0 and have a /boot.config file with the following single line entry: 0:ad(0,a) kernel -P When I boot with this configuration the serial console works correctly but the command swapinfo returns: swapinfo: undefined symbol: _numvnodes and the command top returns: top: nlist failed If I remove the /boot.config file to disable the serial console the commands swapinfo and top operate as expected. Any help with this problem would be appreciated.
