Uhm, you should have vnodes enabled into your kernel, because the
commands executed by the /etc/rc script, when swapfile is set to
something not null, are:
vnconfig /dev/vn0b ${swapfile} && swapon /dev/vn0b
I'll have a look at the Handbook and see if it mentions vnconfig at the
proper section, and let the -doc guys know about it if it's necessary.
