Subject:   Swap file (not swap partition) with 5.0?

Hi,

The
http://www.freebsd.org/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/handbook/adding-swap-space.html
web page includes instructions on creating a swap file for use with
FreeBSD. Unfortunately, these instructions don't work with the -CURRENT
branch -- or at least, not with the 5.0 RC1 release I've got.
Specifically, the compile fails very early on with a syntax error over
the kernel configuration line:

pseudo-device   vn 1

I can't seem to find any hint of what's happened to this option in the
NOTES file. Any tips? Does 5.0 still support a swap file, and if so, is
the procedure for using it documented anywhere? Thanks.
