    I am surprised too, mounting a memory filesystem (MFS) using /var/run
    as mountpoint should *not* be a problem. Most people uses /tmp as
    a mounting point for a MFS.

    To make sure I was not in a mistake I removed /var/run from
    critical_filesystems_beforenet (in /etc/rc.conf)... same result.
    It looks like NetBSD is unable to umount a MFS mounted in /var/run.

    By the way, thanks a lot for trying it. I hope that your filesystems
    are not damaged.

    I will be glad about sending a PR on this issue. My english is not
    so good, perhaps you want to check the PR as you know the problem...

    Thanks again for your feedback...

    Igor.
