	Hello,

	I'm trying to mount iSCSI swap device during boot process. Of course, I
have checked that configuration doesn't contains errors.

	On running system, if I start /etc/rc.d/iscsictl start, device is
mounted without error. But not during boot, I obtains :

Jan 17 10:48:17 pythagore iscsid[1009]: cannot open or create pidfile
"/var/run/iscsid.pid": Operation not supported

for iscsid(8) for 61 seconds; reconnecting

	This workstation doesn't have any hard disk :

	After boot, /var/run/iscsid.pid is created but doesn't contains
anything. If I start by hands iscsid and iscsictl, this file contains
real PID of iscsid and target is connected as da0.

	For information, rc.conf contains :

iscsid_enable="YES"
iscsictl_enable="YES"
iscsictl_flags="-Aa -w 10"

	Best regards,

	JKB
