Here is what I did. 200 - Virtual disk swap file - I use the CMSDDRXA technique to setup the swap signature. 201 - Minidisk - CMS Formatted and Reserved Start installation. When you get to the DASD screen I entered dasd=200-201. Load Module. It will load the correct dasd modules even though they will not show up in the list. Select ABORT. You will be prompted that you have not selected any dasd, just continue on. When you get the Selection Screen - Select Change/Partitions. Select dasda1 - your swap file. In the box where it says "Do not Format" - there is a dropdown box. Make sure that you change this to 82-SWAP. It will then fill in SWAP for the mount point. For dasdb1 - I selected Format - and chose reiserfs for the file system. The put / for the mount point. Every things worked perfectly from then on.
