Rather than specifying swap through bootparams, use /etc/fstab.  This
works best if the file is in the root filesystem of the diskless client. 
For example, create a swap file in /usr/local/nfsclient/rapture/swap, then
add

/swap none swap sw 0 0

to /etc/fstab.

This is what I do at home on a NetBSD/mac68k system, and it works very
nicely.
