    Angus,

    It means that your system cannot use dev/hdb3 as swapspace. In fact it
    should be /dev/hdb3.

    edit /etc/fstab and look for a line with dev/hdb3. If you find it with two
    times the word swap then change dev/hdb3 into /dev/hdb3.

    This should result in more swapspace (MicroSoft Windows calls it virtual
    memory or comparable with WinNT pagefile).

    Kind regards,
