about the tmpmfs="YES" in rc.conf

[LEI CHEN]

I've just added those two options into /etc/rc.conf and commented out
the line in /etc/fstab. 

It works! :)

df -h output is :
Filesystem  size  used  avail  capacity  Mounted on
...
...
/dev/md0    31M   16k   28M    0%        /tmp

I am just wondering what would be the mfs size that suitable for me? I
have PIII 850 256MB laptop.

Cheers,
LEI
