I have three questions. If you can answer any of them please do. I will
most likely be submitting 3 seperate summaries.
1) I went to the rc.config file to change the following parameters
PAGEFILE="/dev/rz2g"
PARTITION="rz2g"
PARTITIONTYPE="RZ26"
I moved the swap file to a different drive. First I am wondering.
A) If I specify the swap space here, do I still have to put an entry in
my fstab file specifying the same partition as swap? Or is this redundant?
B) Also, I noticed that it asks for partition type. Well, the
partition that I put the swap space on, is not normal. I adjusted the
disklabel. So if I put a PartitionType in there, is it going to assume
that partition g is a standard partition and screw things up? Do I just
comment that variable out or leave it blank?
************************
Next Question:
2) I know this is probably somewhere in the documentation, but I can't
find it. So if somebody could either tell me the secret, or the place to
look for it, I would be very grateful.
Where does one find out how to mount drives after booting from CD-ROM. I
am assuming there must be a "RAM-DRIVE" created somewhere since the admin
cannot create the character files needed in the /dev directory on the CD-ROM.

3) I am going to convert my Advanced file systems back to UFS since I
don't need all the extra features. I should just be able to back the
data up, recreate the file system UFS, and then restore right?
Once again, I would like to thank everybody on the list for at least
reading this. Without your assitance, I would have PANIC(ed) by now :-).
