^^^^^^ this should be `swap' to use it as swap.

Look how my disklabel looks, note the type `swap' of partition `b':
# /dev/rda0s1c:
type: SCSI
disk: da0s1
label:
flags:
bytes/sector: 512
sectors/track: 63
tracks/cylinder: 255
sectors/cylinder: 16065
cylinders: 530
sectors/unit: 8515173
rpm: 3600
interleave: 1
trackskew: 0
cylinderskew: 0
headswitch: 0 # milliseconds
track-to-track seek: 0 # milliseconds
drivedata: 0
8 partitions:
# size offset fstype [fsize bsize bps/cpg]
a: 65536 0 4.2BSD 0 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 4*)
b: 196608 65536 swap # (Cyl. 4*- 16*)
c: 8515173 0 unused 0 0 # (Cyl. 0 - 530*)
e: 61440 262144 4.2BSD 0 0 0 # (Cyl. 16*- 20*)
