it's a little different in sunOS

Try this:

become superuser. find out which disk has some space on it that you can use (df -type)

say you want now to create swap space at "/file" mount_point/directory

use th "mkfile" command:

mkfile 16m /file/swap

update /etc/fstab

place entry in there such as:

/file/swap swap swap swap rw 0 0

run: swapon -a

you may have to reboot...
