Installing ST12550N disk in DEC 2100A

I have a Seagate ST12550N 2Gb disk I wish to install in a DEC 2100A.

Are there any special jumper settings I need to set, other than SCSI ID,
to use the drive with my machine?

Which disktab definition do I need to specify?

I plan to install the new disk on the same SCSI bus as the internal
CD-ROM and floppy drive. I'm pretty sure the SCSI ID for the CD-ROM is
6. What is the SCSI ID for the floppy?

I am planning to use the entire disk as a swap device.
My understanding of the installation procedure (assuming installation
for device rz5) is as follows:
        1. cd /dev
        2. MAKEDEV rz5
        3. disklabel -rw rz5 <some disktab definition>
        4. edit /etc/fstab with an entry like "/dev/rz5c swap2 ufs sw 0
2"
Is this correct?

Thanks in advance.
