Wasn't this answered by the man page references? # grep ramdisk /etc/fstab swap /ramdisk mfs rw,nodev,nosuid,-s=2200000 0 0 don't want to reboot? # mount /ramdisk don't want to have it on every boot? (for that there is no real reason, because it wont use ram until one puts actual data in there.) -> add the "noauto" option. - Robert
