Hey,

I've got a book that talks about block devices in Freebsd 3.4.  I got
curious and went looking for some, but my 4.8 distro doesn't seem to
have any.  When did they disappear?  Why did they leave?  Will they
ever return?  I poked around in google and freebsd.org but didn't turn
anything up.  Curious...

Jeff
