Probably. This is slightly complicated though, as you need to edit the file
/etc/fstab before you boot into the Hurd, then boot into single user mode,
set up the device file (and before you can do this with MAKEDEV, you need to
set up some other translators), and run swapon -a manually.
Probably native-install should contain some code to filter out the devices
used in /etc/fstab and create device files for them and then run swapon -a.
How about this?
Thanks,
