FreeBSD 5.0-CURRENT #2: Mon Mar 5 10:40:22 PST 2001 kargl@troutmask.apl.washington.edu:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/TROUTMASK > > Does rc.devfs mean anything at all with -current's devfs?

I could add "ln -sf /dev/nsa0 /dev/nrsa0" for backwards compatibility. dump.8 and dump(8) both refer explicitly to nsa0 and nrsa0 whereas sa0 and nsa0 are the actual device names in -current. -- Steve To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
