- [lots of complex ideas]

- if you have a disk (external or otherwise) that you want to swap off of,
- simply:
-
- # disk -L swapdisk /dev/rsd??
-
- and reboot. Replace the ?? above with the raw device/partition you desire
- to swap to. I've only done this with the first partition on a device...
-
- Check out /etc/rc.swap, /usr/etc/checkswap (checkswap(8)).
