A swap file could be created this way:

dd if=/dev/zero of=/swapfile bs=1M count=100 && chmod 600 /swapfile &&
mkswap /swapfile

the entry in /etc/fstab looks like
/swapfile	none	swap	defaults	0	0

(don't forget the newline at the end of the file!)

then, swapon -a reads /etc/fstab and enables devices and files for swapping.

bye,
