It's always a good idea to have at least as much swap as real RAM, so that
you can get a crash dump.  NetBSD-current as of mid-June supports adding
arbitrary swap partitions, if you're running that, but NetBSD 1.2.x won't.

_If_ the partitions are contiguous, you should be able to delete the
UNIX_SVR2 partition and expand the size of the Swap slice 1 partition.  I
think I've even done this under the Apple SC HD tool (patched, of course,
so that it works with my non-Apple disk)..
