Hi,
on 3.4R, when booting, a
df /
would return the name of the boot device, something like
fd0a ....
wd0a ...
and the like. On a recent -current snap, this returns
ufs:fd0a ....
I used the previous behaviour in picobsd's rc to mount
the file system from the boot device,
set `df /` ; dev="/dev/$8"
echo "Reading /etc from ${dev}..."
mount -o rdonly ${dev} /mnt
unfortunately the "ufs:" prefix breaks the above code.
Any suggestion on how to proceed ? I could of course put some extra
entries on fstab so that i can write
set `df /` ; filesystem="/$8"
mount -o rdonly ${filesystem}
but this requires having entries on the filesystem etc. etc.
Any simple shell trick to parse/remove the ufs: prefix ?
Note, i cannot use tr, basename or other progs, they are just not there!
cheers
luigi
