Putting swap on another partition was a big PITA on earlier versions
(mach == swap *files* not a swap "filesystem" :-/).

A couple of articles on moving swap (apparently still a big PITA) under 10.4:

And one on disabling swap in 10.3 (came out b/c of the fact that in
<=10.3, swapfiles could only be unencrypted--in >=10.4, you have the
option of encrypting swap):
