The second drive has two slices (50G & 25G), however only the 50GB slice is being used. Is there a way I can slice the 25GB into two slices and use one of the new slices for swap? I have data on the 50G slice that I can't afford to lose.
Use the format command to change the partitions - copy the original set up, use only the cylinders from the 25GB when changing the old and new entry.

See this thread which shows an example of building a new partition from unused space (you would use the space from the 25G parition instead by splitting it - make sure the space isn't used or mounted when you go to do this)

In addition (for my future reference), are swap related errors written to /var/adm/messages?
/var/adm/messages is only going to have what the system is sending it - you need to look at your /etc/syslog.conf to see where it's sending messages. Use the search button on any page on this web site to search for syslog.conf - this has been explained before.

warn.conf(4)							   File Formats 						      warn.conf(4)

NAME
warn.conf - Kerberos warning configuration file SYNOPSIS
/etc/krb5/warn.conf DESCRIPTION
The warn.conf file contains configuration information specifying how users will be warned by the ktkt_warnd daemon about ticket expiration on a Kerberos client. Credential expiration warnings are sent, by means of syslog, to auth.notice. All other warning messages are sent to daemon.notice. Each Kerberos client host must have a warn.conf file in order for users on that host to get Kerberos warnings from the client. Entries in the warn.conf file must have the following format: principal syslog | terminal | mail time [email_address] principal Specifies the principal name to be warned. The asterisk (*) wildcard can be used to specify groups of principals. syslog Sends the warnings to the system's syslog. Depending on the /etc/syslog.conf file, syslog entries are written to the /var/adm/messages file and/or displayed on the terminal. terminal Sends the warnings to display on the terminal. mail Sends the warnings as email to the address specified by email_address. time Specifies how much time before the TGT expires when a warning should be sent. The default time value is seconds, but you can specify h (hours) and m (minutes) after the number to specify other time values. email_address Specifies the email address at which to send the warnings. This field must be specified only with the mail field. EXAMPLES
Example 1: Specifying warnings The following warn.conf entry * syslog 5m specifies that warnings will be sent to the syslog five minutes before the expiration of the TGT for all principals. The form of the mes- sage is: jdb@ACME.COM: your kerberos credentials expire in 5 minutes FILES
