Hi all, I'm creating a Knoppix-like FreeBSD release (live filesystem, runs
from CD) with 4.9 sources. I'm almost done, but I don't know what to do
with swap. I read somewhere that I must have a swap partition in my
/etc/fstab, can't this requirement be overridden?
From -current NOTES (don't have 4.9 arround):
Disable swapping of upages and stack pages. This option removes all
code which actually performs swapping, so it's not possible to turn
it back on at run-time.
This is sometimes usable for systems which don't have any swap space
(see also sysctls vm.defer_swapspace_pageouts and
vm.disable_swapspace_pageouts)
optionsNO_SWAPPING
But I think I used exactly that option when I did my embedded BSD more than
one year ago.

And can I create a vn0 device now, and mount it as a filesystem of type
union over / so all directories appear writable? If I do this, is there
some way to save these written files (preferably into a single compressed
file on a floppy or USB memory stick) and restore them on the next boot?
Please help me, I'm really stuck here.
