You need the package rootsh installed on the N900 for the following commands to work fine

Code:

sudo gainroot
fdisk /dev/mmcblk1

Fdisk program is menu-based. Use 'h' for help to get the list of commands inside fdisk. In fdisk do

Code:

d

n
p

You created two partitions, the first for additional file storage the second for the second swap partitions. Now apply the file systems

Code:

mkfs.vfat -n sdcard1 /dev/mmcblk1p1
mkswap -L swap_sdcard /dev/mmcblk1p2

After a reboot you might use one of the different methods to utilize the second swap like ereswap, swappolube or else.
Good luck!
