I had a question about importing a swap partition. I checked the FAQ's 
and couldn't find anything. I've repartitioned my drive to install 
FreeBSD, however, I can't get through the install until I've allocated 
some swap space ofcourse. My problem is this: The space I'd like to use 
is it's own 10mb partition. What I'd like to do is import it into the 
FreeBSD partition (as section b i believe). The only thing is, that I 
don't know what hex value to mark it as so that when I import it using 
the disklabel utility it will be recognized. I assume this is how one 
would do this. In any case, I don't have any room on the actual BSD 
partition to allocate the swap, so I'm doing it in a seperate partition. 
I realize I could repartition the whole drive but that would be too easy ;-).
	
Any help or tips on how to import a seperate partition into my BSD 
partition as swap would be greatly appreciated. Thanks a lot and thanks 
for writing such a great OS!
