Hi,
got a small question, I have a machine here that is an OLD 386 with 4 megs
of ram. 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
