No. At least, not automatically. The best chance is to enter in the
MaintenanceMode, when you can, then:

                # fdisk /dev/... { create a swap partition }
                # mkswap /dev/<swap-partition>
                # sync
                # swapon
Now, you can do:
                # /etc/rc/dosinstall
