have you tried the rc.conf variants?

varmfs="AUTO"   # Set to YES to always create an mfs /var, NO to never
varsize="32m"   # Size of mfs /var if created
varmfs_flags="-S"   # Extra mount options for the mfs /var
populate_var="AUTO" # Set to YES to always (re)populate /var, NO to never
cleanvar_enable="YES"   # Clean the /var directory


also has a tmp set of variables, too

Diskless Booting Can't Set /var in mfs larger than 4MB

2010-05-23 Thread Bill Tillman
I have a diskless workstation booting nicely but for some reason I cannot get 
the /var directory to set larger than 4MB. The docs I read said edit 
/pxeroot/conf/base/etc/fstab like this:

# DeviceMountpoint  FStype  Options       Dump
Pass#
md         /var           mfs      -s=30m,rw    0       
  0
md          /tmp          mfs      
-s=30m,rw    0         0
proc     /proc             procfs                rw 
  0         0

When I do this the /tmp directory sets up in mds at 30MB in size. But /var 
always comes up at only 4MB in size. Can anyone tell me how to adjust the size 
of /var in a diskless setup?
