+.Nd start up scripts to grow the root file system and add swap
 .Sh DESCRIPTION
+The
+.Nm
+script normally runs at the first boot after system installation.
+If the boot disk is larger than the root file system and boot partitions,
+.Nm
+can expand the root file system.
+It can also add a swap partition, with a default size of 10% of the boot disk,
+but no more than double the memory size.
+The
+.Nm growfs_fstab
+script adds any new swap partition to
+.Pa /etc/fstab
+after the root file system is made writable,
+and enables its use as a dump partition in
+.Pa /etc/rc.conf .
+.Pp
 The following options in
 .Pa /etc/rc.conf
 control the behavior of
 .Nm :
-.Bl -tag -width ".Va growfs_enable" -offset indent

-the first time the machine boots, the root file-system will be automatically
-expanded, if possible, to fill up all available space after it.

+the addition of a swap partition is disabled.
