Subject: What do you think about this addition to rc{.conf}(5)?

The purpouse of these two additions is to add the ability to configure the
system automatically to use MFS as the /tmp file system. This makes sense
after reading the white paper on MFS, and its use as a /tmp filesystem,
and looking at rc(5) which already had a tmp clearing function. It seemed
obvious to add the following:
to rc:
if [ "X${mfs_tmp_enable}" = X"YES" ]; then
if [ X${mfs_tmp_type} != X ]; then
mount_mfs -T ${mfs_tmp_type} mfs /tmp
else
echo "disktab(5)-compliant mfs type not given for /tmp"
fi
fi
to rc.conf:
mfs_tmp_enable="NO" # mount an mfs for /tmp
mfs_tmp_type="" # disktab(5) type for /tmp
Comments? Should we merge this, or is it useful to only myself?
