> mdmfs: newfs exited with error code 36

This error seems to be generic, I see it on i386 too. I usually
mount /tmp with the following entry from fstab:

    md /tmp mfs rw,-s250m 2 0

This gives the newfs error mentioned above. Doing the steps by hand
I get:

# mdconfig -a -t swap -s 256m
md4
# newfs /dev/md4
/dev/md4: 256.0MB (524288 sectors) block size 16384, fragment size 4096
        using 4 cylinder groups of 64.02MB, 4097 blks, 4160 inodes.
super-block backups (for fsck -b #) at:
 160, 131264, 262368, 393472
newfs: wtfs: 4096 bytes at sector 192: Bad address
