Ok I screwed up on one of my machines and forgot to put the /tmp

/sbin/mke2fs /dev/tmpMnt
cd /

this appears that you want a file backed image file mounted as your /
tmp. This should be easy to do. Read the handbook for file-backed md
(4) devices.
I don't use them for /tmp but I run them with jails... I have about
60 such image files mounted now for example
Read the handbook on md(4) devices and look up mdconfig(8) in the man
pages

Any help is greatly appreciated.
