It's good your asking these questions for I got "stuck" on Linux for two years before I realized the rest of the Unix world does not call their devices the same names as linux does, hence I realized *THEN* that it pays to at realize such. You may call your car /dev/auto and FreeBSD may call the exact same car /dev/vehicle and Solaris may call it /dev/transport The main thing to remember it that the Unix distro's are all making reference to the "SAME HARD DRIVE !!!" Here are some real examples of disk drives LINUX = /dev/hda1 (my first partition on IDE drive) FreeBSD = /dev/ad0s4a (my first partition on IDE drive) Solaris-8 (Intel) /dev/dsk/c0d0s0 (my first partition on IDE drive) HP-UX = /dev/vg00/lvol1 (pulled this from CCSF in San Francisco) The same goes for ethernet connections also; LINUX = eth0 FreeBSD = ep0 Solairs-8 (Intel) = iprb0 HP-UX = lan1 (?) -- Bill Schoolcraft PO Box 210076 -o) San Francisco CA 94121 /\ "UNIX, A Way Of Life." _\_v http://forwardslashunix.com To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-newbies" in the body of the message
