To: freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG Date: Mon, 30 Mar 1998 19:57:25 +0200 (CEST) X-Mailer: ELM [version 2.4ME+ PL38 (25)] MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=US-ASCII Content-Transfer-Encoding: 7bit Sender: owner-freebsd-stable@FreeBSD.ORG Precedence: bulk Hi, please apologize if this has been discussed already but I have been on holidays and might have missed some discussion about this: Will the /dev entries sd0[a-h] still be supported in the future? I still use them on my non-root disks because they are shorter and IMHO easier to read. I think they will be needed on "fully dedicated disks" without a fdisk table but I just want to be sure that they won't be replaced by something else. I am a little bit unsure because there were some mails saying that a lot of things would become easier to handle... Or does this apply only to the sysinstall/fdisk/disklabel/booting stuff? Thanks, and sorry if this has been discussed already, -Andre To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-stable" in the body of the message
