Im wondering how to specifiy MULTIPLE ram disks in netbsd.

I have right now in /etc/fstab

/dev/sd0a / ffs rw,softdep 1 1
/dev/sd0b none swap sw 0 0
/kern /kern kernfs  rw 0 0
/proc /proc procfs  rw 0 0
192.168.102.188:/usr/export/3-0/macppc/usr/pkg /usr/pkg nfs rw  0 0
192.168.102.188:/usr/export/3-0/macppc/usr/pkgsrc /usr/pkgsrc nfs rw 0 0
/dev/ad0s1b /tmp mfs rw,-s=128000 0 0

and it is working well !

My objective is to create additional ramdisks in /var/ for some 
applications like dhcpd to have scratch, and make / a read only fs, and 
abolish swap, stability not features...

it seems counter intuitive that /dev/ad0s1b might be two things at the 
same time, but what character do  i increment for a second 'disk'?
