Add another line to /etc/fstab, similar to your existing raid1b swap
entry, but in the fourth field, replace "sw" with "dp".

E.g, if you had
	/dev/raid1b	none	swap	sw	0 0
add
	/dev/raid1b	none	swap	dp	0 0

/etc/rc.d/swap1 should set this at boot.  Run "swapctl -z" after boot
to see what the system thinks is the dump device.
