swap space question

I have a SCSI disk with partition sd0b currently unused. This partition
was 35 Mb of swap space on a Sun 3/50 SunOS 3.5. The disk was moved onto
another system that doesn't need that space for swap. Since that space is
no longer used, I plan to make a new filesystem on it and use it as a
regular partition. If I do that, can I later use it for swap again ? Is
anything necessary to enable the swap space to be used (other than
changing the swap partition in the kernel) ?
Thanks in advance.

[[ Nope. There is nothing analagous to "newfs" for swap partitions. Just
tell the kernel to swap on it (but don't try to mount it as a file system
at the same time!). Note that this does not apply to /export/swap on a
4.0.x server. --wnl ]]
