lostboi tutorial
I received an email from a Dean yesterday commenting on my tutorial on how to move the swapfile in Jaguar. He had problems with the swap after doing a forced reboot. I tried it myself and it seems that Darwin starts-up the swap system before it checks and repairs the not properly unmounted disks, which you get after a forced reboot.
Now there were some suggestions in the forums about placing the "Virtual memory system" at the end of the rc file. Not only didn't it work for me, apple must have a good reason how the rc file if ordered.
Anyway i was pocking around in the /etc/rc.netboot file and found the following. Darwin autodiskmount it's devices before it actually mounts them, it uses (autodiskmount -F). So put this command before the mount session in the rc file and all your swap file worries are over.. at least they did for me on my G4 QS with 2 ide drives and mac os 10.2 (without any updates).
If you need any help, i've updated my tutorial on moving the swap file at my website, any comments or suggestions are welcome.
grtz lars.

After reading loads of more or less controversial information on moving swap files, I decided to give lostboi's tutorial a go.
