Steve, If you did things correctly, then you will need to load the DIAG driver (modprobe dasd_diag_mod?), and then just do a "mkswap" and "swapon" command against it. Note that Sine Nomine has a very nice CMS REXX exec to put the swap signature on the VDISK before IPLing Linux, so that Linux will just be able to do its usual "swapon -a" command during normal startup. Check on their downloads page for it. It's called SWAPGEN.
