Ok.. i'll bite: What would be the correct fstab line to use a *file* for swap..
 (ie like in diskless, but for this example, lets assume its on a local
machine.)

#ifdef RAMBLE
Would it be wiser to make it into some sort of vnode and mount it as swap
thusly?  (might that fix the nfs swap problem?)  I'll try thursday when I'm off
work..
