Here is an excerpt from the man page:

  The following example shows a swap file entry in an /etc/fstab file:
       /dev/rz0b   swap2   ufs   sw   0   0
  The following command adds the /dev/rz0b block device file as swap
space:
       swapon /dev/rz0b

I believe that someone asked the same question not too long ago.  Have
you ever tried http://www.deja.com?
 It's very useful tool for finding the answers to questions that have
already been asked. ;)  Make sure you click DISCUSSIONS.

        The answer is that you can either enlarge your existing swap space
or create a second swap space.  COMPAQ Tru64 UNIX doesn't support
using a regular file as a swap area.  It has to be raw partition.
Usually it is partition "b" of your system disk.  One method to
increase the swap space is to repartition the system disk so that
partition "b" is larger.  The other is to find another disk
partition to use as a second swap space.

        Depending on why you wish to enlarge your swap space, changing to
"lazy" (aka "overcommitment") mode may solve your problem without
you having to increase your swap space.

                        Hope this helps,
                              Don
