You can do it this way:

  dd if=/dev/zero of=swapfile bs=1024 count=768000
  mkswap -v1 swapfile
  sync
  swapon swapfile

Note that on a 2.0 series kernel, the max size of a swap space is 128M.
You'll need something 2.2 or so.

Oh; wasn't paying attention. If you've actually got an unused partition, skip the dd stuff, and just mkswap it. (25 years ago, 15-Sep-99, to lugnet.off-topic.geek)
