( guess that's pretty stupid question ) but if so - how do you get tmp mounted early enough since i guess you have to 'dd' the size at boot time to create it ? is there a standard way to do this or do i just have to write this into rc scripts before anything that needs it ? if so, anyone done it ? will 'rc.d' script & force mount over tmp do the job ? or do we need to get in earlier ? thanks for any advice. -- fergus To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
