Yes, that's totaly correct.
Here is the steps for the archives if the question comes up again:
edit crunch.conf and add
progs newfs
ln newfs mount_mfs
I mount my ramdisk like this:
/sbin/mount_mfs -s 32768 -T ramdisk dummy /usr/local
where my /etc/disktab entry for ramdisk looks like this:
ramdisk:\
:ty=mfs:se#1024:nt#1:rm#300:\
:ns#32000:nc#1:\
:pa#32000:oa#0:ba#4096:fa#512:\
:pc#32000:oc#0:bc#4096:fc#512:
