[lots of complex ideas]

if you have a disk (external or otherwise) that you want to swap off of,  
simply:

# disk -L swapdisk /dev/rsd??

and reboot.  Replace the ?? above with the raw device/partition you desire  
to swap to.  I've only done this with the first partition on a device...

Check out /etc/rc.swap, /usr/etc/checkswap (checkswap(8)).
