you have to reformat the HD with the diagnostic disk. type "s4tools".
this gets you into a hidden mode. then do the HD format utility.
there's a point where it asks if the system will be single user, then
multi user; this will allocate either 3000 or 5000 blocks. if you
answer 'no' to both, it will ask you how big the swap should be.

you're welcome. (i hope i remembered it right! ;^>)
