Thanks to all who replied - I didn't have 3.3. the time I asked, and 
I assumed that the old mechanism for swap as gone. Having the man pages  
now, I apologize for the question.

3.3. puzzle 
***********************
It seems to me that the old problem with 3.2 shows up again - once 
our 4D/120 is fully loaded, I can't log in any more (i.e., the console 
can't load the microcode). Funny enough, my IP5 board shows the 'phantom 
bus error' again (fixed in 3.2.3), and the syslogd still shows the lines

gm-2 (configured for IP5) 1.14+
Loading PP ucode Version 1.2 6/20/87 
User unknown revision (1.12cloverIP5GT)

(which are always there - even if the console can load the microcode). 
My suspicion is that something is wron with my hardware. 
Suggestions welcome.
