>Description:
man 5 kernfs states that the files root, rootdev and rrootdev should exist
in a kernfs file system, but that they are ``not currently enabled''.
I note that kernfs has been removed from -current, so presumably these
will never be enabled.
>How-To-Repeat:
1) To see the files being referenced:
man 5 kernfs
2) To see that they aren't enabled :
mkdir /kern && mount_kernfs kern /kern && ls /kern
>Fix:
Apply the patch below :
*** src/share/man/man5/kernfs.5.old Fri Nov 16 18:20:38 2001
--- src/share/man/man5/kernfs.5 Fri Nov 16 18:21:16 2001
