hello

has anybody set up a (or some ...) FreeBSD machines diskless - with root
_and_ swap via nfs - i've got it working so far very good - but only with
local swap - if i try to use swapping over nfs the system comes up ok - but
short after it starts swapping many processes die on signals 11 and
sometimes 6 and the machine hangs - are there any tricks i don't know ?

thanks in advance - t

p.s.: it's FreeBSD 2.0.5-RELEASE
