Hello,

The linux way would be :

Code:

 mkdir /var/ramdisk ; mount -t tmpfs -osize=900M none /var/ramdisk  ; mount

Please how to achieve this in NetBSD ?

Regards

could it be simpler?

Code:

# cd /usr/src
# ./build.sh -O ../obj -T ../tools -u tools
# cd /usr/src/etc/
# make MAKEDEV
# cd /usr/src/distrib/i386/ramdisks/ramdisk-big
# make TOOLDIR=/usr/tools

Maybe this?

mkdir /ramdisk ; /sbin/mdmfs -M -S -o async -s 500m md5 /ramdisk/ ; df -h | grep ramdisk
