If you're going to use a local ramdisk ... well, then what is the point 
of using swap at all?  Swap is designed to free up RAM!

If you don't want to use swap, then simply don't configure it.  NetBSD 
does not require swap space to operate correctly (I work with a number 
of configurations, from large memory to small ones, where no swap is 
configured).
