I created a 25 meg partition for swap space, but couldn't figure out how to tell the system to use it. I read that all I have to do is use disklabel to label the partition 'swap'. Does anyone know the arguments for disklabel to label the 25 meg partition 'swap'? Or does anyone know another way of doing this without reinstalling unix? Thanks for any help.
