Best Way to Mount a File-Backed Memory Disk at Boot-Time?

[David Marshall]

FYI, it is a "convenient" property of mount_mfs that it will do a
newfs on your file-backed memory store upon mounting it.  I understand
that a new parameter has been added in -CURRENT recently to have it
preserve the contents of the file-backed memory disk.

Caveat mounter!
