- This problem probably has been addressed on the net before, but I'm having
- a problem getting my swap space to work on my second drive. I currently have
- Two ESDI drives running with a wd1007 controller. The first drive is a
- Micropolis 1355 (/dev/wd0x) and the second is a CDC Wren V (/dev/wd1x). I have
- rebuilt my kernel defining the wd1 in the swap like this:
-
- config "386bsd" root on wd0 swap on wd0 and wd1
-
- I have checked the file swap386bsd.c in the compile directory and the
- data struct. swdevt has been updated with the wd1b major and minor number.
- It looks like this:
-
- struct swdevt swdevt[] {
- { makedev(0,1), 0, 0 }, /* wd0b */
- { makedev(0,9), 0, 0 }, /* wd1b */
- {0, 0, 0}
- };
-
- I also updated my /etc/fstab to define swapping on drive wd1b. The entry looks
- like this:
-
- /dev/wd1b none swap sw 0 0
-
- The disklabel on the second drive (the CDC Wren V) has been partitioned. The
- partion wd1b is defined to be a swap partition.
-
- On boot up I get the following error:
-
- swapon: /dev/wd1b: device not configured.
-
- I also get this error when I do a "swapon -a" or a "swapon /dev/wd1b".
- If you have any ideas please let me know. I appreciate any help in tracking
- this problem down. Thanks in advance.
