Let me >inform< you that we can not go ahead with the planned "no extra reboots needed" feature of sysinstall, unless I get your permission to fix the swap-initialization. The problem is if you have no swapdevices, (as in "no freebsd-slice") when you boot the floppy, then you cannot do a swapon. This is because the swapdevices are tallied and sized before /sbin/init (which is stupid). This bit of initialization should be done as part of the first swapon(2) call done. Let Jordan decide this one, he's the one doing sysinstall, and he will have to cope with that reboot if we don't change it. -- Poul-Henning Kamp <phk@login.dknet.dk> -- TRW Financial Systems, Inc.
