I have a spare partition on the system, hdb7. It's 270 megs or so, so I
tried mkswap /dev/hdb7, which locked up the system. Maybe because it was
mounted at the time.

The old partition that used to work was /dev/hda6. It is no where to be
found on the system, that I can find. Like the partition is completely
missing. I'm assuming I can find if it's still there with fdisk.

I'll try fdisking it after 5 when it goes into non-use.

Keep the ideas coming....

Mike
