Hi, Just adding to this. If you look in the /etc/default/rc.conf you'll find swapfile="NO". With this in mind. dd if=/dev/zero of=/opt/swapfile bs=15 count=10 Add the following to the /etc/rc.conf file. swapfile="/opt/swapfile" It should now be configure everytime you boot the system. Assuming that the vn(4) driver is configured in your kernel.
