I took a 500 meg hard drive and installed freeBSD-3.4-RELEASE on that drive while it was in another machine. the machine I installed it on is a PIII 450 with 352 megs of ram. I set up the file system in it like so: 64 megs as a swap partition 436 as the / (root) partition or slices, it booted fine in the machine that I installed it on. When I put the drive in the OLD machine it gets to the normal boot process till this error comes up: changing root device to wd0s1a pid5 (sh), uid 0, was killed: out of swap space from there it is stopped. I'm currently searching for parameters to pass to boot, but I'm not having any luck. I'm hoping someone might be able to help. I'm going to see if I can jam anymore ram in it later. Thanks in advance. Adam Kress To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
