If you don't mind, spell this out for me if you would.
Are you saying that this swapfile is in the root
directory of the dreamcast filesystem, and it "just
works" because it mounts swap just after the root fs
gets mounted so it can find the swap file?

If that's the case, makes total sense and I'll
probably change my scheme.
