Something I've wonderd about for a while: why does NetBSD have both
mfs and a ram-disk driver? It seems somewhat redundant. Is the
ramdisk necessary for booting on some ports? If so, what's the
advantage of mfs over an ffs filesystem on a ramdisk?
(I'm not saying there *isn't* some advantage to having both, I'm
just curious to hear what it is.)
