Subject: Want a Kernel that doesn't require swapspace

Is there a way to use a kernel without swapspace, start init and a few
other processes and *then* add swapspace by swapon()?

I'm playing games with floppies and custom init(1)s, but the kernel
panics in swapinit() because there's nothing to page to.

I think of something like 
> # kernel config file
> config         netbsd  root on sd0 swap none

How is this solved when netbooting a diskless machine?

Thanks for help. I hope I overlooked nothing obvious. I'm on
-current/i386. 

Martin
