My XBox has a 10Gb drive.  The first 8 gigs are untouched, and the 
upper 2 gigs are divided into 256Mb swap and 1.75Gb root (ext2) 
partition.  There is NO POINT in using an nfs root and putting swap on 
the hard drive if the intent is to shut down the hard drive.  Since 
you're saying the box is useless with an nfs swap I will just keep 
things the way they are for now.
