On FreeBSD 10, it's easy to do with an entry in /etc/fstab, see fstab(5). For earlier versions, I'm not sure of the best way. There's /etc/rc.local, but may be more automated ways in the other rc scripts. au> au> Many thanks for the reply. au> au> What led me to rc.conf was this; au> au> http://ryanbowlby.com/2009/09/30/freebsd-ramdisk-mdconfig/ au> au> I¢m using FreebSD 9 and would need it to load very early on in the boot process but not be mounted. mdconfig_md* have to always start from 0. An arbitrary value such as 100 cannot be used. -- Hiroki [-- Attachment #2 --] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v1 iEYEABECAAYFAlMWuZAACgkQTyzT2CeTzy15XQCfZVvCJZzhwdREh/P5mD3ds0+A hoIAoJu0OITqF7+9qgJeZSANhBvv5tH3 =ODRK -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
