Early on the piece, swap wasn't being used (due to the major number of
the swap device being wrong?).  I seem to remember some sort of message
being displayed during boot about "no swap space found" or some such.
I don't know if the old gregorio (spel?) kernel's we made before or
after this was fixed.  If worst comes to worst, I can compile a kernel
from -current for you, and see if that helps...
