Hello from Gregg C Levine
Seeings though I've finally gotten my Dreamcast to boot using the prebuilt
Linux distribution, and it complains in a few areas, one of whom might be
related... I suggest you check the permissions settings for the swap mount
point again. If that doesn't fix it, do the whole thing all over again. Oh,
and keep a written record of each step. By the way, what release are you
working with?
