     Alternatively, to load the	driver as a module at boot time, place the
     following line in loader.conf(5):

DESCRIPTION

     tems.

HISTORY
     The tmpfs driver first appeared in	FreeBSD	7.0.

AUTHORS

     <jmmv@NetBSD.org> as a Google SoC project.

     Rohit Jalan and others ported it from NetBSD to FreeBSD.

     This manual page was written by Xin LI <delphij@FreeBSD.org>.
