This is a fine solution. I hope it's OK when I add this to my patch request. But I have two remarks. 1. For example you could use the diskless boot procedure for smart clients with a small disk used as swap space. So I think it is better to use swap instead of malloc for var,dev, and tmp. This could be done with a variable (e.g. diskless_swap_enable). What do think about it? 2. Building a dev dir is obsolete when you use DEVFS. So you should distinguish between these two situations. I don't know if you could use one of the "vfs.devfs.*" variables to determine the usage of DEVFS.
