Updated 9.1 to 9 stable on an old PII with 256 MB of memory.
(FreeBSD runs fine on this machine).  After updating have
been getting the following warning on startup:

warning: total configured swap (524288 pages) exceeds maximum recommended
amount (497056 pages).
warning: increase kern.maxswzone or reduce amount of swap space.

I allocated 2.0 GB of swap when I installed.  This was not a problem
in the past. 

Should I ignore this warning or do I need to do something?
