How can I make a ramdisk?
THIS IS UNSUPPORTED. Make sure ‘ram’ is configured into your kernel, and then make device files with major 9 (both blcok and char), minor 0xVSSSSS, where V is the volume number, SSSSS is the number of sectors in the ram disk, and a sector is 256 bytes. For example, mknod /dev/ram1m c 9 0x101000 makes a 1 meg ram disk. Of course, you have to make a file system on it and mount it to make it useful: mkfs /dev/ram1m 1024 Note that you will have to make a block device also. This works for all 9.x systems.
