Most probably, the swap file doesn't exists, or isn't exported. The kernel will mount the swap file (yes, the file, and not the directory in which the file is) and I know some OS don't know how to export a file (don't know for linux). Also, you may get better help from sun3 mailing list (see the http://www.netbsd.org/MailingLists/index.html) -- Manuel Bouyer, MASI, Universite Paris VI. email: bouyer@masi.ibp.fr --
