Why won"t /etc/swapon work?

[Brian Thomson]

Perry Flinn has indeed told you how to add a device to the swap table,
but don't do it unless you meant /dev/hp3b rather than /dev/hp3h.
You'll notice that swaphphp.c also contains an initialized variable
'nswap'.  This is the number of blocks of EACH swap partition that
will be used -- Un*x requires that all swap partitions be of the same
size, and since /dev/hp3h is much much larger than any of the 'b'
partitions you will waste almost 80% of it.

By the way, /etc/swapon doesn't work for /dev/hp0b because, as the
first entry in the swdev table, it is already enabled for swapping.
