I've got a large file I want to add as swap. When I tried before to just
add the raw filesystem, I was getting an error regarding:
"/dev/sd4b: Device not configured."
or somesuch. Now; Netbsd doesn't appear to have support for swapping
directly to files rather than to disk partitions. When I try to do this
with a file rather than a partition, it says that a block device is required.
Machine in question is a Sun 3/60M running 1.1.
Thanks in advance,
Elijah Wright.
