If I understood correctly James tried to expand existing swap and
somehow he can not do it by merging existing and new partitions.

Why not just add the necessary line to /etc/fstab, and let the boot-time

(Note: I _am_ running 2.0, this might be a useless suggestion under 1.x, I
don't know.)
The discussion of adding swap in the FreeBSD docs mentioned only covers
adding auxiliary swap *files*, not swap partitions.
The shortest and clearest example I can find of adding swap to fstab(5) is
at http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/swap-encrypting.html or possibly
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/geom-glabel.html, both of which
contain extraneous detail - the Handbook assumes sysinstall(8) prepared
swap space and adjusted /etc/fstab for you during install. You should be
able to compare-and-contrast based on those two examples, though.
AFAIK this isn't something pfSense/m0n0wall does differently than
FreeBSD... the weirdness starts quite a bit later in the boot process.
(I'm curious - why do you need/want more swap on a firewall?)

Hello again,
Little fix just add '/sbin' path to binary just to make sure that
init
subsystem will run it:
echo "/sbin/swapon /dev/ad1s1"> /usr/local/etc/rc.d/startup.sh ;
chmod
+x /usr/local/etc/rc.d/startup.sh; reboot

Hey Listee's
I am trying to add a swap drive to my pfSense box but I'm
failing to
keep it after a reboot.
I zero out a spare 512MB partition with dd and chmod'd it as per
the
this freeBSD doc [0] but then I get stuck. /etc/rc.conf doesn't
exist?
I can execute 'swapon /dev/ad1s1' and then under swapinfo my new
swap
drive appears, also in the web interface it shows on the front
page.
As soon as I reboot it is no longer there and I have to execute
'swapon' again.
So how to I complete this process under pfSense?
