Umm, I'm about to install -- I want 32M swap, and I know this in advance.
Is there some way of telling install this (I can't recall reading anything
about it in the INSTALL.NOTES or the FAQ), or am I going to have to install,
use disklabel and reinstall?  If so, what is involved with this -- how much
of the installation procedure do I have to go through before going back,
and how do I reinstall (presumably just running install again will return
the 5MB swap partition)?

Thanks,

Mark.
