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: http://spitfire.velocet.net/pipermail/freebsd-hackers/2002-March/018270.html Help would be greatly appreciated. Thanks. -- Marcus I.
