This is kinda risky - if you ever forget that the N900 now depends on a microsd on a specific partition for Swap, Maemo will start *****ing about not enough memory (not true, can launch xterm).

A better solution would be to replace swapon -a with the 'swapmicro' script posted somewhere here on TMO, which detects swap partitions on the microsd, and if it is available, uses that and doesnt bother with emmc. Otherwise, if there's no swap on microsd, it simply runs swapon -a.

I'll post my edits to rcS-late when I get back home.
