Yesterday, I have committed a couple of enhancements to the tmpmfs in CURRENT.
If you plan on using tmpmfs="YES", mail me privately and I'll tell you how to
merge the changes with your existing setup once the tmpmfs stuff is merged
from CURRENT to RELENG_5 (in a few days).

Do you have a separate disk partition that is mounted as /tmp?  If yes, then
mounting an md file system over /tmp will probably conflict with your current
setup and you'll have to remove the entry from fstab (or at least comment it
out, while you are checking the tmpmfs stuff).
