If you have to increase your swapspace *NOW* and you don't have any spare
space left on your disk you might try something like this:

# swapinfo
Device          1K-blocks     Used    Avail Capacity
/dev/ad0s1b        524288      272   524016     0%
# dd if=/dev/zero of=/tmp/swap bs=64m count=1
1+0 records in
1+0 records out

# mdconfig -a -t vnode -f /tmp/swap

# swapinfo

Total              589824      272   589552     0%

(on 4.x, use vnconfig(8) instead of mdconfig)
