Nope. You just define swap and tmpfs in your fstab. Here are my entries:
$ grep swap /etc/fstab
/dev/sda3 none swap sw,pri=10 0 0
/dev/sdb3 none swap sw,pri=10 0 0
/dev/sda7 none swap sw,pri=1 0 0
/dev/sdb7 none swap sw,pri=1 0 0
$ grep tmpfs /etc/fstab
tmpfs /tmp tmpfs noatime,nodev,nosuid,size=8G 0 0
shm /dev/shm tmpfs nodev,nosuid 0 0
I haven't changed anything there since upgrading from 4 to 16GB RAM a few
months ago. Notice that the tmpfs was then bigger than the installed RAM. It
worked just fine.
