Here's how I do it (taken from
http://www.georgetoft.com/linux/firewall/index.html)
in /etc/rc.d/rc.sysinit
# Added 06/16/01 to support RAMDISK logs
action "Setting up /var/log on ramdisk" /bin/true
dd if=/dev/zero of=/dev/ram bs=1k count=4096 > /dev/null
mke2fs -vm0 /dev/ram 4096 > /dev/null
###
See above html page for exact placement - it follows these lines:
# Enter root and /proc into mtab. also added /initrd/loopfs for loopback root
mount -f /initrd/loopfs 2>/dev/null
mount -f /
mount -f /proc
and in /etc/fstab:
/dev/ram /var/log ext2 defaults 1 1

George
