Mark the partition as swap.
(For this example, I will use /dev/hdb5 as the new swap partition.
Change to match your actual partition.)
/sbin/mkswap /dev/hdb5
/sbin/swapon /dev/hdb5
To have it used automaticly when you boot, add this line to /etc/fstab:
/dev/hdb5 none swap defaults 1 1
or just copy your exhisting swap partation entry and change the device
file name.
