If you mkfs the swap partition, the fs will just get overwritten by the 
system.  The swap partition is inserted into fstab by the installer 
automatically when you do a build devices the first time.  If you didn't 
have the swap partition created before your first build, it won't make 
the fstab list unless you go to the mini-shell and do an fstab -force.  
That will recreate the fstab file complete with the entry for the swap 
partitition.

IIci's are notorious for not working with the NetBSD11 kernel.  Look 
around wherever "current" binary snapshots are found and get a copy of 
the most current GENERIC kernel (#45 or 55 I think?) or get an NFS? 
kernel.  These have some change made that fixes the problems with the 
IIci if I understand right.  Give it a shot.  BTW, what's the IP address 
of www.netbsd.org?  I've found two systems on opposite ends of the 
country, neither of whose nameservers respond when I ask for the system.  
Anyway, look at http://www.netbsd.org for locations to look for the 
file.  I'd look myself, only... no nameserver response.
