(Suppose /dev/hdc1 is swap. If you only need one partition, you don't
even have to partition it (i think).)
Add this to your /etc/fstab:
/dev/hdc1 none swap sw 0 0
NOTE: Just like a filesystem, a swapfile/swappartition must be formatted
before it can be used.
To format a swapdrive, use:
mkswap /dev/hdc1
NOTE2: A swap partition is limited to 2GB on most archs. If you want
more, use multiple swap partitions (Linux supports up to 8 by
default.)
If you use multiple swap partitions, you probably want them on
different controllers for speed reasons.
