Hi.  I'm trying to create a root memory disk inside a kernel.  When I boot
the system, it automatically reboots just after the NetBSD prompt (after i
press enter and the spinning bar appears).  Here are the options I have in
the kernel config:

pseudo-device   md      1
options         MEMORY_DISK_HOOKS
options         MEMORY_DISK_IS_ROOT
options         MEMORY_DISK_SERVER=1
options         MEMORY_DISK_ROOT_SIZE=65536

I'm trying to create a 32 meg filesystem as root.  I use makefs and
mdsetimage to make the image and put the image into the kernel.  What am I
doing wrong?  Thanks.

Greg
