The fdisk help files tell me to be sure to assign a swap file 
partition, but I don't know what to call it so it'll be recognized as 
such.?.  The assign command insists that the name start with "/"; I 
tried "/swap", "/swp", & "/tmp".  I'm installing the boot stuff from 
1.2MB floppy so the tutorial FAQ isn't included.

Another question...  I've got 8MB RAM --> need for 16MB swap.  I've 
only got 119MB available for FreeBSD until I can figure out how to 
port Trantor T128 and Future Domain TMC-1680 SCSI controller drivers 
from Linux.  Is that gonna be enough room for bindist and whatever 
else I need to work on the port?

Where's the best place to start gathering info needed to attempt 
porting Linux drivers to FreeBSD?

Thank you.
