This is fantastically useful to know. Thank you, Mark!

I have a number of Beaglebone Greens in the wild that use read-only root 
with /tmp and /var mounted as tmpfs. This is done auto-magically by 
standard FreeBSD when / is marked ro in /etc/fstab.

Quite useful when something is powered from an unreliable/limited energy 
source, such as solar.
