Success! With the latest pmap.c (1.36), I can boot multi-user (you have to
boot single user and enable swap first, though). I've attached a dmesg from
the boot.

Is there any way to get swap enabled earlier for netbooting? I looked at the
rc.d scripts, and swap2 enables swap on network devices, but it gets run far
too late to be useful.

I tried doing a few things and pretty much everything I tried works:
traceroute, ping, vi (although it was a bit tricky due to terminal settings),
restarting services via /etc/rc.d/<script>, file. However, host does not
work, it fails with 'unable to allocate memory' and ldd fails with 'unable to
mmap bss'. I don't have 'options KTRACE' in my kernel config, so I can't
currently track down exactly what is failing.

Ian.
