One of the expert-mode diagnostics (from the menu you get into by typing
"s4test") will ask you what size to assign to each partition.  It's
one of the hard-disk diags, but I'm not exactly sure which one.  Anyway,
when it asks how much space to assign to the swap partition, just tell it
how many blocks you want.
