Add this to /etc/fstab (/dev/wd0s1b has to be the swap partition).

/dev/wd0s1b /tmp mfs rw 0 0

If you want to change how big it is (the default size is as
big as all of your swap space).

/dev/wd0s1b /tmp mfs rw,-s=16384 0 0

The -s option gives the size in 512 byte sectors, so my example
creates a 4MB memory filesystem.

Cheers.
