Comment (by pulkomandy):
You can configure the swap in preferences/Memory. By default the swap file
is on the boot volume but you can change there. It is a known problem of
Jam that it needs a lot of memory because it uses vfork to spawn tools (it
could use posix_spawn or load_image instead).
With only 1GiB of RAM you will probably need 2 or 3GiB of swap to build
the system. This is part of the build requirements. The nightlies when
dd'ed this way have not enough free space, so you will need to move the
swap elsewhere than the boot volume.
