Is it possible that Deface's problem is that the disk never got "built" ?

Well, the disk must be at least mostly "built" if it can play MP3s. I guess it's theoretically possible that the music partition is formatted, but the swap partition isn't mkswap'd.

In fact, now I try it, if you "swapon" a file which exists but which isn't a valid swap partition, you get the error "swapon: /swapfile: Invalid argument", which sounds very like this player's reported error from "swapon". If that's the case, the solution is to type "mkswap /swapfile" at the player's prompt. (You don't have to rw the disks first.)
