This is how I did it back in the early 2.2.x days. May have changed a bit
though.
1. create a vn-device
cd /dev; sh ./MAKEDEV vn0
2. create a swapfile (/var/swap0)
dd if=/dev/zero of=/var/swap0 bs=1024k count=64
3. put into the proper rc file the line. Sorry can't remember what file
it was.
vnconfig -ce /dev/vn0c /var/swap0 swap
