Okay guy's sorry to sound like such a newbie but.....

I have been unable to set my keymap variable correctly in rc.conf
I have read the install instructions several time but I am still missing something

I have a generic keyboard and i am in the us

also for some reason my swap is not being activated at boot time
I did create a swap partion on hda2 file type swap

If anybody can help I would really appreciate it

Thanks :oops:

What is your KEYMAP set to right now? Mine is just KEYMAP="us" and it seems to work fine.

For the swap partition, how is it setup in the file /etc/fstab? There should be a line that looks something like this:

/dev/hda2 none swap sw 0 0

You might need to format your swap partition
