I installed 386bsd + XFree86 a few months ago! Yesterday I got new hardware (harddisks ...) and wanted to install some extra stuff. 1) I have a 386/40 with 2 Seagate disks 130MB (st3144a) The first harddisk was made by install, the second one I created a disktab with 16MB swap partition. I made the filesystem on the wd1 - everything ok. Then I tried to mount the swap-partition via swapon -a in rc and declared the /dev/rwd1b sw sw rw 0 0. but on bootup there is a message: mount_sw sw no such file or directory. The same error occurs if i change the fstab-entry to: /dev/wd1b sw sw rw 0 0 or /dev/rwd1b swap swap rw 0 0 etc. So this is my first problem. 2) I have a 486/33 with 2 connor disks cp30174E and wanted to have DOS and BSD on the 1st HD. Before I had the 2 seagates in this computer with also DOS and BSD on the 1st HD and it worked fine. Now (the same configuration like before with the seagates) I can't start X anymore (only from the 486, it works fine from 6 386 and it worked fine with the 486 and the seagates!) X tries to switch to 800x600 mode than holds a second and reboots the computer! This is my second problem. Any suggestions?
