  However, when I run the command "swapon -a", I get the error:

Have you created that device? "cd /dev; ./MAKEDEV hd2s3" should do the
trick.
Ah, that did it! Thanks!

So I thought I better take another look at my partition table, but there doesn't seem to be any partitioning tool (no cfdisk, no fdisk, no pdisk) that I can find, so it looks like I may have to boot back into Knoppix after all.

On GNU/Hurd we have GNU parted.  I don't know if it is installed by
default though.

It's not installed on my box yet, but at least now I know. Thanks!
