Subject:   Creating large memory disks
Message-ID:  <1032550772.3d8b79748b94c@imp.riboflavin.net>

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?

The md man page indicates it's possible, but talks about preloading it
in loader.conf.  However the reply from Terry Lambert to a similar
request said it should be done after boot.  Any tips or guides?

The post I'm referring to is:

Help would be greatly appreciated.  Thanks.
