Look at the man pages for iv.  You can format your disk using the
diagnostics first, then rn iv to modify the partition table.  This
will let you specify whatever size swap (and any other partitions for
additional filesystems) that you want.

Don't have my manuals here at work, but I did this with my machine at
home and it worked fine.  Send me mail if you need details...
