Have these all been replaced by just the device .... keyword? It sort of looks like that, but I haven't found anywhere that it explicitely says so. Also, I notice that 'options MFS' is still in LINT but there is no 'options MFS_ROOT', though there remains 'options FFS_ROOT' and others. I think that we still need to be able to use MFS as root during our system config and install. Has it been subsumed into something else, or is it just missing? Thanks for any help, ////jerry Jerry McAllister jerrymc@msu.edu To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-questions" in the body of the message
