Thank you for this great howto! I've only one thing which is a bit unclear, how needs /dev/sda7 to be created? Should it only be created or formatted too, with ext3? Because you say "No mount point is assigned for the ext3 file system in partition #7 of SCSI1 (0,0,0) (sda)." but here "/dev/sda7 -- 60 GB unmounted (logical, ext3) (will contain the /var/vm directory)". Thanks again for this great howto!
