Ok, that worked.
a few follow up questions..
Why was the entry never created when the system was built? This is a
new install and I know I didn't touch the /etc/fstab file.
Secondly an older FC 3 install (this is a FC 4 install) had the line:
LABEL=SWAP-hda3 swap swap defaults 0 0
I tried the same line (adjusting for hda6) but that didn't work. I do
have label's on the other filesystems however and they work fine.
TIA

Make sure swap will work by typing:
swapon /dev/hda6
If that works add the following to /etc/fstab
/dev/hda6 swap swap defaults 0 0
