    This would be easier for someone else to follow if you would not top
    post.

    Well since there is no swap enabled lets enable some. I have never done
    this without an fstab but the manpage for swapon seems to indicate that

    swapon /dev/whatever

    should work.

    so assumming that your swap partition is the same as root, try

    fdisk -l /dev/sda

    and see which partition is swap and use that in the above swapon
    command.
