I abused diskless_mount for md filesystems:
[351]cicely5> cat /etc/rc.md
DEV=`mdconfig -a -t swap -s 1400M`
disklabel -r -w ${DEV} auto
newfs /dev/${DEV}c
tunefs -n enable /dev/${DEV}c
mount /dev/${DEV}c /tmp
chmod 1777 /tmp
DEV=`mdconfig -a -t swap -s 800M`
disklabel -r -w ${DEV} auto
newfs /dev/${DEV}c
tunefs -n enable /dev/${DEV}c
mount /dev/${DEV}c /var/run
chmod 755 /var/run
[352]cicely5> grep rc.md /etc/rc.conf
diskless_mount="/etc/rc.md"
It's running fine on i386.
md currently doesn't work on alpha because of 8k pagesize brokenness.
