No. Ignore it, delete it, or make it point at hdb4 it's you're choice -
if _you_ don't mention /dev/swap in your /etc/fstab then nothing else
is going to mention it.
Hey did you say you explicitly mentioned your swap partition in /etc/rc.local?
Why'd ya do that? ``swapon -a'' and a list of swap pattions in /etc/fstab
is the more usual approch.
