	OK, I know I'm bringing up a question that must have been overly
discussed in the past --but I cannot seem to get enough information from
all the docs, and man pages, or USENET. (not saying that the info isn't
there, but that I am too dumb to find it)

	I am trying to create a small ramdrive. About 4 megs to be exact.
I have recompiled the kernel with options MFS, and now I have the device
entries that (i guess) I need? /dev/wd1b? I don't really understand what
devices should be used --or how to configure them. I tried a:
	mount_mfs -s 8096 /dev/wd1b /ramdrive
which only told me that the device was not configured. If their is any
detailed documentation on how all this works, I'm sure that if I read it
I wouldn't be needing to ask these rudimentary simple questions. I tried
looking through the MAN pages, and the FreeBSD manual --which gave me more
detailed answers to mount_mfs'ing /tmp than anything else that I found.

	Jeff
