You can look at the partition table with 'pdisk'. Assuming you have a
swap partition set up you can use 'mkswap' to set it up, 'swapon' to
activate it, and make an entry in /etc/fstab to activate it everytime
you start.
If you don't have a swap partition you can use a regular disk file for
swap as well. Just check the man pages for the commands I listed.
