[gentoo-dev] build CD boot swap problem

[Grant Goodyear]

After installing Gentoo from the build CD, several (meaning at least
three so far) people are finding that, despite a valid fstab, the
swap partition isn't being mounted at boot time, although "swapon -a"
will mount the swap partition after the system is up.  Polaris 
(on irc) suggests the fix of putting the devfs name in fstab
(instead of /dev/hdax).  I've installed Gentoo rc5 both from
the i686 and the build CDs now, and I only had the swap problem
w/ the build CD.  Anybody have an idea what's going on?

Thanks,
Grant
