Making loopback devices for boot floppy images, etc
$ dd if=/dev/zero of=foofile bs=1k count=1440
$ mkfs -t ext2 foofile
$ mount -o loop foofile /mnt
Just a thought, shouldn't file:///dev/* be out of bounds (for any
browser)? I mean, why would you want to read your device files?
Reminds me of file:///c:/con/con in older versions of IE.
