Use swapinfo to find out which swap devices are active, how big, and
how much in use.  If your kernel was compiled with pseudo-device vn,
you can arrange to swap to a file (assuming you're not low on
filespace too).

dd if=/dev/zero of=/somewhere/bigfile bs=1m count=64
vnconfig -c /dev/vn0c /somewhere/bigfile
swapon /dev/vn0c

See also the man pages for these commands so you can tailor to
your situation.
