You need to have kernel source installed on your system.  If you
have it

# cd /sys/i386/conf
# cp GENERIC MYKERNEL
# vi MYKERNEL

and add the pseudo-device line mentioned.
save the file and then

# config MYKERNEL
# cd ../../compile/MYKERNEL
# make
# make install

That's it.

Then you'll need to create the swap file and edit /etc/rc.conf to
tell the system where the swap file lives.
