Yes

It should be comethign like
/dev/sd6b     /tmp            mfs     rw,-s10240

you don't want to backup your mfs so the 1 1 is not needed and you don't
want the backing store for the fs to be you entire swap because then
where would the system find backing store for real memory?

try working with a 

/dev/sd6b     /tmp            mfs     rw,-s28672

that leaves 16M for swap and gives the rest to mfs.
