I want to say thanks to the people who responded, including: danl@midget.towson.edu ee.udel.edu!law diku.dk!seindal cs.strath.ac.uk!jim ariel.unm.edu!rhare> hamlin@cvl.UUCP All agreed that swap space is defined a kernel compile time, via the 'config' line in /usr/sys/config/machine_name: config vmunix root on hp0a swap on hp0b dumps on hp0b The call to 'swapon -a' in /etc/rc allows additional swap space(s) to be used, provided they are also specified at compile time: config vmunix root on hp0a swap on hp0b and hp1b dumps on hp0b The optional swap spaces must also be listed in /etc/fstab. Now, all I have to do is to get my vendor to pay attention; he does all the kernel generation. (For the time being...)
