See swapctl(8): Note: The initial swap device (root disk, partition b) is handled auto- matically by the kernel and does not need to be added to /etc/fstab or added via swapctl. It will show up as "swap_device" in the output dis- played with the -l flag. To find that piece of information yourself in the documentation, you would start from fstab(5), reading If fs_type is ``sw'' then the special file is made available as a piece of swap space by the swapon(8) command at the end of the system reboot pro- cedure. This redirects you just to the point where your question is answered.
