Hello gang. Nothing big, but important...
Can someone tell me if the machdep.guessed_bootdev sysctl is helpful at
all? I think it's a waste, and it's pretty limited and only available
on the i386.
It currently guesses 'wd' instead of 'ad' for the dev. nodes, .e.g:
hiten:~/> sysctl machdep.gussed_bootdev
machdep.guessed_bootdev: /dev/wd0s1a
SCSI drives are shown right (da) but ATA drives mess up, i.e. it is
still thinking we have the 'wd' system. It's either that we nuke this
sysctl or apply the attached patch to sysctl, which has been reviewed
and tested by people on IRC with positive results.
Comments / objections appreciated.
Cheers.
