Message-Id: Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: questions-owner@FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk I had a question about importing a swap partition. I checked the FAQ's and couldn't find anything. I've repartitioned my drive to install FreeBSD, however, I can't get through the install until I've allocated some swap space ofcourse. My problem is this: The space I'd like to use is it's own 10mb partition. What I'd like to do is import it into the FreeBSD partition (as section b i believe). The only thing is, that I don't know what hex value to mark it as so that when I import it using the disklabel utility it will be recognized. I assume this is how one would do this. In any case, I don't have any room on the actual BSD partition to allocate the swap, so I'm doing it in a seperate partition. I realize I could repartition the whole drive but that would be too easy ;-). Any help or tips on how to import a seperate partition into my BSD partition as swap would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot and thanks for writing such a great OS! -Todd ~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~-~ Todd C.
