My question (not being a unix guru) is how the heck do I get swap space installed. I have disklabelled my second disk with a label that gives me a 10 meg swap partition and the partion is marked as swap. I have also put the relevant entry in the /etc/fstab file indicating it as a swap partion. I have also newfs'd the partition. but on bootup I get the message swapon: /dev/wd1b device not configured and it appears - no swap space ... Am I just being an idiot - can anyone help me, Jake Greenland
