I have a diskless workstation booting nicely but for some reason I cannot g=
et the /var directory to set larger than 4MB. The docs I read said edit /px=
eroot/conf/base/etc/fstab like this:

# Device                Mountpoint      FStype  Options         =A0 =A0 =A0=
 Dump    Pass#
md =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 /var            =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0mfs     =A0 =A0 =
=A0-s=3D30m,rw       =A00       =A0 =A0 =A0 0
md                      =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 /tmp            =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0=
 mfs     =A0 =A0 =A0-s=3D30m,rw       =A00       =A0 =A0 =A0 0
proc                    =A0 =A0 =A0/proc           =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 proc=
fs  =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 =A0 rw              =A00       =A0 =A0 =A0 0

When I do this the /tmp directory sets up in mds at 30MB in size. But /var =
always comes up at only 4MB in size. Can anyone tell me how to adjust the s=
ize of /var in a diskless setup?
