clear swap slice

but according to prtvtoc and other commands, swap slice starts with sector 0
Why does Solaris install set swap start at cylinder 0? - comp.unix.solaris | Computer Group ) and label seems to be there, too. so, I skipped first 256Kb, with dd, just to be sure. I want to clear the swap to keep the disk compressed image smaller.
