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.
