The standard way to add a swap device under SunOS is with the 
swapon(8) command.  It can be done from the command line or
in /etc/rc.local with "swapon /dev/r<add'l-swap-partition>",
or by placing an entry in /etc/fstab of the form

/dev/r<add'l-swap-partition>	swap	swap	rw 0 0

and executing "swapon -a".
