It has no examples of labeling a memory disk. There was such an example in the vnconfig man page. This might replace the existing example for creating an md device with /tmp/boot.flp as backing. To create a disk named /dev/md0 with somebackingfile as backing and label it with ffs partitions: mdconfig -a -t vnode -f somebackingfile -u 0 disklabel -r -w md0 auto disklabel -e md0 BTW, I have confirmed that this works with bsdlabel.
