This shouldn't be necessary (but that doesn't means it isn't); please
post a copy of your /etc/fstab and output from "disklabel /dev/sd1c".
There should be an entry for "swap" under fstype for partition "b".

Have you tried "swapon /dev/sd1b" at the root prompt?

Putting /dev/sd1b in my /etc/fstab was all I needed to begin using my
other partition.  It sounds to me like you may have a problem with your
partition, but it would help to see more detail.
