FreeBSD is its own operating system - completely separate from Linux. It should run in its own slice (Primary Partition in MS terms). You may be able to cobble up some tricks to do otherwise, but don't. Can freebsd make use of a linux-swap as swap space?

FreeBSD doesn't need to format swap before use, and seems perfectly content using any contiguous span of blocks as swap space -- even ones containing filesystems (oops!). Afterwards, you will need to re-mkswap the partition before Linux will be able to use it, though. -- Fuzzy love, -CyberLeo Technical Administrator CyberLeo.Net Webhosting http://www.CyberLeo.Net [EMAIL PROTECTED] Furry Peace! - http://.fur.com/peace/ ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
