Okay, just to confirm, my swap device looks like:

venus# pstat -s
Device          1K-blocks     Used    Avail Capacity  Type
/dev/amrd0s1b     2097024     8708  2088316     0%    Interleaved

which is just under 2048m, at 2039m instead ... so ... should I sent it
down to 2000m even, or ... ?

And all I need to do is set 'dumpdev="/dev/amrd0s1b' in /etc/rc.conf ...
no other settings I need?
