	So, is it possible to create a swap partition for one OS, on the same physical
	disc as the main partition for the other OS?

Yes, with a caveat.  Plan 9 does not support
the use of extended partitions -- it needs its
own primary partition for each piece of disk
you'd like it to control.

I'd suggest setting up the Plan 9 kernel and
swap on the same disk to start with, and then
once you have things set up, manually create
the new swap partition where you really want it.
