OK, got that one to work.

Turns out that you can mount files, but can't export them.

Also, FreeBSD has different rules on what you can export. 

You can either export some directories (that aren't children of other
exported directories) or export one directory with -alldirs, which allows
mounting of any subdirectory.  You can't export two directories with -alldirs,
and you can't export files.  Without -alldirs, you can't mount a child
directory of an exported directory.

So, I moved things around so I can export one directory with both 
the root and swap directory in it, and the swapfile inside the swap
directory.

Now I need init in /sbin.  Seems not to like to start if it isn't there.

thanks!
