Thanks Jason.

A combination of both worked.

--recommended only works when the mountpoint is 'swap', it
won't work
with raid mountpoints...
In general I wouldn't recommend building a raid for swap
anyway, it
doesn't gain you much and the performance overhead for RAID
will make
a difference in this situation, since you want your memory
to be as
fast as possible. What I would do instead is...
part swap --recommended --ondisk sda
part swap --recommended --ondisk sdb
This will give you twice as much swap without the
performance
overhead, and if one disk fails you can just 'swapoff' that
partition
and keep running with just one swap partition.
