Is there a way to add a swap partition from a statically, sized file over NFS?
SunOS does this. I am running low on swap - but I have a large amount of
drive space available on another machine.

BTW-  After struggling with NetBSD 0.9 (which would NOT work with SLIP) I
tried FreeBSD 1.0e - works great!
