Well I finally got X11R5 running on my RT (running AOS 4.3).  Now I can't run
xv because it can't malloc enough memory to uncompress gif or jpeg files.
The RT has 16M of memory, and a 16M swap partition.  I decided I needed to add
a swap partition on the second disk.  I used the minidisk program to create a
16M partition on hd1 of type swap.  When I add the swap partition by

swapon /dev/rhd1b

It executes with no complaint, but when I check with pstat -s, no swap space has
been added.

What gives?  Can anyone tell me what I'm doing wrong?
