I need to create a FreeBSD installation on an SSD drive (connected via a
USB adaptor), and would like to do so manually so as to avoid the use of
an installation CD, PXE or sysinstall.
1. When creating an /etc/fstab file, does the order in which entries
appear have any significance? I've noticed that when using
sysinstall approach, the entries appear in the following order:
# Device Mountpoint FStype Options Dump Pass#
/dev/ad0s1b none swap sw 0 0
/dev/ad0s1a / ufs rw 1 1
/dev/ad0s1e /tmp ufs rw 2 2
/dev/ad0s1f /usr ufs rw 2 2
/dev/ad0s1d /var ufs rw 2 2
Would a device alphabetical order (as used by bsdlabel) work?
2. I don't expect the system to swap, so can I dispense with a swap entry
and have everything function normally (no error messages, etc.)?
3. Will adding `noatime' to / or any other filesystem have any
consequences?
