You're certainly right that /dev/floppy still works ... I didn't try that. What I _did_ try was mount /dev/scd0 /cdrom and that still fails. I still have scsi emulation and the like setup so I guess perhaps at least THAT little bit has changed. Perhaps it's using sr or sg or one of the other scsi alphabet soup assignments.

Your /dev/cdrom will be a symlink to /dev/cdroms/cdrom0. So "mount /dev/fd0 /floppy" will still work, or you could mount the device with "mount /dev/floppy/0 /floppy". -- Jerome msg26302/pgp0.pgp Description: PGP signature
devfs newbie questions about mounting
I've been messing around with devfs in sid, trying to learn my way around, since this may be the way of the future ... and although /dev/scsi/host0/bus0/target2/lun0/cd makes good SENSE and is pretty easy to figure out, it's not so quick to type when mounting by hand. I'm used to more or less ignoring the fstab and mounting the old way, like "mount /dev/fd0 /floppy ." Takes about two seconds, and it's done. Outside of starting to use fstab, is there a better/faster way to mount things using the command line, with devfs?
