Ok, let's see if I got this right. :-) * Only the boot device is affected. ( even when boot != FreeBSD root ) * Above point is only effective until you start using DEVFS. * Dedicated disks ARE affected by this change. * "Dangerously dedicated" disks are NOT affected by this change. How many right? :-) /Mikael To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
