The swap partition can be used with the command swapon, for instance if my swap partition was /dev/hda4 then the command would be
Code:
swapon /dev/hda4

You can add this command to /etc/rc.d/rc.local and it will execute automatically at bootup.
If you have multiple swap partitions/devices then you can use this command instead
Code:
swapon -a

That will activate all of them at once. In fact, it can be safely used if you only have one swap partition and aren't sure which one it is.
