I've read all the posts on the web and have found nothing that actually
describes the exact steps to creating a ram disk with ffs.  I am creating a
pure RAM based system and I have configured a ram disk with the miniroot
that gets inserted in the kernel, but now I want a second large (256MB) ram
disk for file storage.  I believe the order is something like:

1. Mdconfig /dev/md0x size &
2. Something about creating disklabel
3. Something about newfs
4. Something about mount_mfs

But I have no clue what the actual commands are for steps 2, 3 and 4.
Everything I've tried yields an error.  So for the record, can someone
please list the steps with the correct commands.

Thanks,
Jeff
