The recipe I used in 3.x no longer seems to be valid. Here's what I've gotten so far from my searches and manpage reading: Tried swapon -a but get this message: swapon: /dev/ad1s1b: Device not configured So I doublecheck /etc/fstab which does contain: /dev/ad1s1b none swap sw 0 0 (Also tried the line mentioned in the handbook, but got same error as above, but worse as refused to mount my filesystems) Check /dev which does have an entry for ad1s1b, so I try: sh MAKEDEV ad1s1b It does it's thing, still not configured. Reboot, still not configured. Also doublecheck my kernel config file to verify options MFS is not remmed out. Any other hints to try?
