Sound like you didnt have any swap. Did you install afresh or upgrade?

You need to have a line similar to


/dev/sd0b       none    swap    sw      0 0

in your /etc/fstab, and a

swapctl -A -t blk 

in your rc.local (or start it manually as root afterwards) to enable the
swap... swap is no longer autodetected by the kernel on start.

If you upgrade, these things might not be added to your system
configuration... all the /etc stuff needs to be merged into your
configuration manually.
