If we start this, we should probably provide symlinks for all `standard' device that has been found, like /dev/tape + /dev/ntape and /dev/[r]diskette. What about people with half a dozen of each drive type? Create symlinks /dev/cdrom0 ... /dev/cdromN, or just create the first one? (Which one is the `primary' drive for a machine that has /dev/cd0c and /dev/wcd0c?) Which partition name should the symlink point to? It seems that cdcontrol recently only accepts /dev/cd0c (it used to accept /dev/cd0a as well previously). I'm not opposed to the idea, but i can't say i like it that much either. :) -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-) To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe cvs-all" in the body of the message
