Hi

I find that my FreeBSD 2.1-STABLE  diskless systems are rebooting 
when the try to start swapping.

On the FreeBSD server

spc:/tftpboot # cat cfg.130.102.180.11

rootfs 130.102.180.1:/export/c1
rootopts rsize=2048
swapfs 130.102.180.1:/export/swap
swapopts rsize=2048
swapsize 25000
hostname c1.pc.elec.uq.edu.au

spc:/export/swap # ll swap.130.102.180.11
4 -rw-rw-rw-  1 root  wheel  69632 Feb  6 16:30 swap.130.102.180.11

The swap file on the server seems to get initialized.

On the diskless client

c1:/etc > swapinfo
Device      1K-blocks     Used    Avail Capacity  Type
/dev/??         25000        0    24936     0%    Interleaved

Running something that requires swapping then causes a client reboot.

Has anyone encountered this behaviour?

Please let me know if you can suggest a possible cause.
