I've heard reference (no, I don't remember where) to a ram-resident filesystem either distributed as part of the BSD O/S or built as part of the installation procedure (in either case it's used to bring BSD up, rather than as a permanent ramdisk). I can't find any mention of anything like this in the sources (4.2 or 4.3). Could anyone help me with a pointer? Where am I not looking? Or is it possible that I'm just cracking under the strain and nothing like this really exists? I've found mention of the swap partition F/S, but I don't think that's what I want. Thanks for your time... ---tpc--- -- I am sole owner of the above opinions.
