STATUS: how to reference a swap-only ZFS pool

Many people have told me about using zfs create to zfs create
swappool/swapvol.  The problem is that nothing is appearing in /dev/zvol
except for my already existing pool.  Nothing new.

/dev/zvol/dsk/epicpool
/dev/zvol/rdsk/epicpool

and thats it.  No swappool.

I am creating that pool, and zpool status shows that it is there, but it is
not in /dev/zvol.
