0205 was not available because SWAPGEN detached it.  Then since we
didn't allow for guests to allocate a V-Disk, SWAPGEN could not build
one.  However, commenting out the lines that Adam suggested resolved
this.  So, we added the swapgen command to the profile exec:
SWAPGEN  0205  30000 ( FBA )
then created /etc/boot.rc/doswap that looks like:
/sbin/mkswap /dev/dasd/0205/part1
/sbin/swapon  /dev/dasd/0205/part1


This all seems to work wonderfully....thanks for your help everyone

I don't think he has a 205 available.  If he got the messages HCPLNM091E
it's because the system couldn't find v-disk space; not that he already had

I had assumed it was that the userid wasn't allowed to create a 205, but that it was OK if it was specified in the directory, and that the mkswap in Linux failed because the device path was wrong. SWAPGEN, as shipped, tries detaching the device address you request first and then defining the disk. That's in case you've got a real device at that address--I didn't want to overwrite whatever was on it with a swap signature.
