You use the common "mount -o" options like this:

	swap   /tmp     mfs     rw,union

which is analogous to this:

	mount -t mfs -o union swap /tmp

If you want to specify "mount_mfs" specific options, like size, do it
like this:

	swap   /m       mfs     rw,union,-s=2880

The -o options are described in mount(8). I don't know where else the
fstab usage is documented but in the example fstabs in /usr/src/etc/etc.*.
Looking at the the fstab manpage, I just noticed another omission--`xx',
for commenting out fs's doesn't work, but shell style `#' comments do.
