Did'nt it print an error number or someting like this ?
Most probably, the swap file doesn't exists, or isn't exported.
The kernel will mount the swap file (yes, the file, and not the
directory in which the file is) and I know some OS don't know how
to export a file (don't know for linux).

Also, you may get better help from sun3 mailing list
(see the http://www.netbsd.org/MailingLists/index.html)
