I have the same problems as the original poster - my *2* Mb system
won't go any further in the install program than the newfs for the
root partition. I get errors: "Process 4 killed by vm_pageout --
out of swap". I assume that getting more swap space would help me
out but how can I execute swapon from the install program? I'm
using FreeBSD-2.0-RELEASE.

Any hints anyone?
