Are there any warnings or error messages before it reboots? Did you try to do a tcpdump on the network to find out what happens? Exactly when does it reboot -- right after mounting the swap? Are you sure that the swap size is specified correctly? Note that it must be specified in Kbytes (not 512 byte blocks). Also make sure that the files have been created with sufficient size: dd if=/dev/zero of=swap.x.x.x.x bs=1k count=whatever Regards Oliver -- Oliver Fromme, Leibnizstr. 18/61, 38678 Clausthal, Germany (Info: finger userinfo:olli@dorifer.heim3.tu-clausthal.de) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
