The output shows only the root filesystem loaded!  So I go ahead and
 run "mount /dev/hd0s2", which complains that "filesystem type `swap'
 unknown".

Well, you can't use mount (resp. umount) to activate (resp. deactivate)
a swap partition. You have to use `swapon'  (resp. `swapoff'). (Note
that this doesn't work on GNU/Linux either, it complains about 'none'
not being a valid mount point).
