make an entry in fstab that looks something like:

md /mount/point mfs rw,-F/path/to/backing/store 0 0

FYI, it is a "convenient" property of mount_mfs
that it will do a
newfs on your file-backed memory store upon mounting it.  I
understand
that a new parameter has been added in -CURRENT recently to
have it
preserve the contents of the file-backed memory disk.

Caveat mounter!
