OK, let's try again. I have one hard drive. I want to add a RAM drive like I always have in earlier releases of FreeBSD, to take advantage of MFS. This usually entailed adding a line to /etc/fstab to mount the same device used by swap as /tmp using mfs. When this failed, I started searching the FreeBSD site and my usual haunts for tips. I then tried man swapon and the best I could make out was that this was something new introduced in 4.0 and swapon -a should make my swap device listed in /etc/fstab available. That's when I started running into error messages and sent the first email. Dru To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
