If neither your /etc/fstab mentions a paging area, nor you ever call a swapon(8) yourself, no paging area will be available to the system. However, you are likely going to crash the system if you're not careful. FreeBSD is heavily trimmed towards making use of the swap. -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
