Subj : Adding new swap to fstab

An empty fstab file, at that!

I have an sbc that, as of right now, only mounts one partition.  I would like
to add a swap partition or file.  Normally, I would set up said partition or
file and then add it to the fstab.

However, when I go to do so, the current fstab contains the following single
line:

# UNCONFIGURED FSTAB FOR BASE SYSTEM

OK, so somehow this debian system knows to mount an SD card partition as '/'
without being told to do so in the fstab.  So, if I add a new entry for a swap
partition/file, will it still know how to mount the root partition, or am I
fixing to break something?!?  

Thanks!
