Hello all,
I trust this is a Seldom Asked Question...
I am using file-backed memory disks (as in mdconfig -f) to prototype
filesystems.
root.img gets mounted first and usr.img, var.img and tmp.img get
mounted below it and as such they are behaving as partitions.
Is there any way to get a

I need to know how to create a large memory disk in FreeBSD 4.6x. I've
figured out how to create a 10M malloc-backed disk, but I want a
ramdrive more on the order of 128M. How can I do that?
