There's your problem. Swap-to-a-file won't function until after a) fsck(8) completes successfully, b) the filesystem is mounted read/write, and c) your swap file path is added to the the system as swap space. You have no swap space, and you don't have enough RAM to fsck your "large single filesystem."

Once more, I'll recommend you please use the installation defaults. These will help keep you from shooting yourself in the foot, again and again.

I could write a lot on this sort of "Frankensystem" idea. I'm not going to. The TL;DR would be "Nope."
