Yes I initialized it, with . . . . wait, wait a minute . . . . Doh! No, 
I initialized it in my first install attempt, but I can't remember doing 
it on the second install attempt.

If I boot back into Knoppix I can initialize it with "mkswap /dev/hdc3", 
but how would I do that from my "sh-2.05a#" prompt on the Hurd?

Good call, Barry; thanks!
