I added the following two lines to my kernel configuration: options NSWAPDEV=2 pseudo-device vn to add a swap file to my system. Them I did (after rebooting, of course) conf# vnconfig -e /dev/vn0b /var/news/spool/articles/swap.file swap swapon: Device not configured as 'vnconfig -e /dev/vn0b /var/news/spool/articles/swap.file' works fine, I assume that the problem lies with swapon /dev/vn0b.... What am I doing wrong ? Thanks.
