is it possible to use mount_mfs _without_ the "special" argument ?
what i want is to mount_mfs my /tmp for a diskless FreeBSD xterminal for the
/tmp.X* files - but to use mount_mfs it seems i need a disk special device
(from the mount_mfs man-page):
The special file is only used to read the disk label which provides a set of
configuration parameters for the memory based file system.
but i don't have any disk (diskless :-) thus the typical swap-partition entry
won't help - is there any trick to get a ~16 block (8k) /tmp mounted mount_mfs
using a diskless FreeBSD machine with / mounted ro with the diskless code ?
thanks in adavance - t
p.s.: this may lead to very simple FreeBSD xterminals
