In case you meant this as a real question: No. I'm quite used to
building custom kernels for my purposes.

I am still not sure if MFS helps me. My project is an embedded system
that does not have a swap. I'm pretty sure the system will not run out
of memory. So am I supposed to create the MFS on swap though I don't
have any?

Anyway, I agree with you here that I maybe should have taken a closer
look at MFS. I just didn't take it into consideration because I have
worked with rdconfig since OpenBSD 3.2 without problems.

Thanks!
