What happened to controlling the device? Mime-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset="us-ascii" Date: Thu, 15 Jun 1995 22:35:16 -0400 From: Ken Wilcox Sender: hackers-owner@freebsd.org Precedence: bulk Although the new 2.0.5 stuff is great and FreeBSD has made me a real fan, I have one problem. What happened to controlling the device of a partition in a label, for example: wd0a / wd0g /usr wd0h /home Although this is not that important of a topic for someone to worry about, I am just curious as to why the labelling facility on the boot.flp does not allow one to say I want my next partition to be wd0g instead of e. -Ken Wilcox This is by no means a flame of any sort, just a question as to why things changed.
