But as far as I understand it there shouldn''t be a problem to increase the disksize now that DMA is out of the picture. And it has been for some time now, or am I wrong? Rickard. (I''m adding the list to this discussion as other people possible have comments on this issue)

In this case the extra disk space was added by creating /etc/rc.init and adding this line. mount_mfs -s 4096 swap /var/named/slave (adjust size to your specific need) Right now the zones file on this slave would not persist after a reboot, but the point is that if some extra space is needed there is an other way than changing MINIROOTSIZE kernel option and rebuilding. (when you can edit the rc.init file and reboot :-) Cheers Yannick.

it does fit on 3.9 (haven''t tried current). just uncomment these
