How functional is DEVFS at the moment ? I was using it before the SLICE stuff was torn out, and gave up at that point. Without SLICE, does DEVFS create the devices with the same major/minor numbers as normal ? Without SLICE, is it necessary to have a /dev to boot off ? FWIW, I'm 100% behind DEVFS as none of the pitfalls affect me :-I > -Archie > > ___________________________________________________________________________ > Archie Cobbs * Whistle Communications, Inc. * http://www.whistle.com -- Brian <br...@awfulhak.org> <br...@freebsd.org> <br...@openbsd.org> <http://www.Awfulhak.org> Don't _EVER_ lose your sense of humour !
