	Piece-o-cake:

	1) back up hard drive
	2) boot from diagnostics disk
	3) when given the 1-7 choice, enter "s4test" (without quotes)
	4) This should give you a prompt like
		EXPERT>
	5) and ? will display 19 diagnostic selections, including one
		for partitioning the hard-drive.
	6) make your selection and specify the partition,
	7) reformat your drive
	8) load the system.

The exact syntax amy vary a bit, I havent done this in a while. But It works,
I've got 9meg of swap now, and haven't seen that "PID xxx: killed due to no
swap space" error in a while.
