I would really like more than 5000 blocks. Look at the man pages for iv. You can format your disk using the diagnostics first, then rn iv to modify the partition table. This will let you specify whatever size swap (and any other partitions for additional filesystems) that you want. Don't have my manuals here at work, but I did this with my machine at home and it worked fine.
