It's actually generated by the 'swapon' command. A swap partition has to be type 82 and it has to be prepared with 'mkswap' before you can use it. The installer will do this for you, but if you change your partitions around later you have to run mkswap yourself. Think of mkswap as mke2fs for swap partitions. :} (Actually, if it's a partition type other than 82 it will still *work* but you should still set it to the right type :} )
