in /etc/fstab to get a memory disk:
md /tmp mfs rw,-s8m,noatime 2 2
Back when mdmfs was created, there was vague discussion about doing this, but
it never materialized.

of an argument name collision with -O, use -v, and default to whatever
the newfs default is for the platform (generally, UFS1). This is
required to support diskless workstations that use UFS2 for their
mdmfs file systems.

name is "mount_mfs" or "mfs". Previously, the condition was that
the program name must start with "mount_", but this both missed
the case where mount(8) invokes mdmfs with argv[0] = "mfs", and it
included cases such as "mount_md" where compatibility is not
required.

default if the executable is named (called as) "mount_*", or can be
enabled with the -C option. This allows users to leave their old
fstab entires unchanged (modulo symlink'ing mdmfs to mount(md|mfs))
and have things behave the way they should (by emulating mount_mfs
silliness), while still allowing mdmfs to be used as a generic
make-an-md-and-mount-it type thing.
Right now, the only effects of this option is to set the mount-point
mode to 01777 as if "-p 1777" was given, and to complain about getting
command-line options that mount_mfs didn't take (e.g., -X, -L, et al).
The latter is mostly to try to catch operator errors.
Also implement -U, which turns on soft-updates. It's redundant (since
softdep is the default), but implement it anyway for compatibility.
