Um, it's not to be found in /dev, it's found in the kernel's tables of "root" devices. Now, please don't ask how I knew that, as I figured it out months ago and have since forgotten how I DID figure it out... :-\ Just another "senior moment", I think... ;-} > p.s. - BTW, I ran into a compiler error when I tried test11 - I can't > remember the eact error.
