When trying to recompile the kernel for the first time today I started
getting messages something like:
/386bsd: error 0 blkno xxxx sz 4096 swap_pager_finish: clear of page xxxxx failed.
I assume this has something to do with my swap space not being setup properly.
I have made an entry in the /etc/fstab file for the swap partition.
I installed my system using the provided install script that creates one
big partition and a 5 meg swap partition and disklabel -r wd0 shows that
this partition exists. df /dev/wd0b gives somewhat bizarre results though
which I don't have written down at the moment.
Is there more that needs to be done to make swapping work? Any suggestions?
Thanks!
