Here is are two scripts I wrote for those who want
an easy way to create ramdisks for OS X.
http://azlist.info/kj/mac/utilities/ramdrive2.0.zip
+ramdrive readme:+
ramdrive and ramdrive2 create an OS X HFS drive from Ram.
ramdrive lets you set size of ramdisk
ramdrive2 lets you set size of ramdisk and set name of ramdisk.
rename scripts as needed.
"chmod +x" script before using (set executable).
place in directory of your choosing, /usr/bin directory is a good spot,
as it puts it in the user path.
type name of script without options for built-in help.
enjoy.
