Subject:   sysinstall + swap partition requirement

During a fresh install of the DP2 I noticed that sysinstall didn't
allow me to configure the system *without* any swap paritions.

Well this doesn't make sense, since:

1. The system has perfectly fine 192MB of RAM, thus the installation
should scceed anyway...

2. I intendid to use SWAP-over-vnode to work around GCC's "template compilation
eats RAM" struggle.

I guess this "safety check" is a leftover from the days where one had typically
16MB of RAM + 100MB of swap on a system...
