One might also need to do
swapon -a
to use any swapspace. I forgot that once with the result that the
installworld stopped half-way through with an out-of-memory error.
Granted, that machine only have 8 MB RAM and a modern machine should
have enough memory to not need any swap during an installworld but one
should be aware of teh potential problem.
