dump/restore need some space in /tmp. Just mount a mfs to /tmp so
that that doesn't fill up the initial ramdisk.

When I move to another disk, I boot from the old one to single user,
mount the new one unter /mnt and do the dump/restore for all partitions.
I just call mount /tmp manually, /etc/fstab has an entry for an mfs
based /tmp on my boxen anyway.
