Hello:

So I'm trying to determine why hpcmips on the z50 won't configure swap.

Here is my disklabel:

8 partitions:
#        size   offset     fstype   [fsize bsize cpg/sgs]
  a:   240408      212     4.2BSD     1024  8192    1
  b:   394320   240620       swap
  c:  8924788      212     unused        0     0
  d:  8925000        0     unused        0     0
  e:  8290060   634940     4.2BSD     1024  8192    16

but upon boot, and when I subsequently do this manually:


bash-2.05$ sudo swapon /dev/sd0b
swapon: /dev/sd0b: Cannot allocate memory

I've searched thru the netbsd docs and can't see where they talk about swap 
at all.

Does anyone have a hint about its memory problem?
