This approach worked fine for me too... Prior to elfing my kernel I was using `dset' to accomplish same, but it appears to yack on the elf kernel with something cryptic like: | | --root@churchill:/usr/home/andrew-- | # dset -v | Boot image: /kernel1 | | Table: _isa_devtab_tty | ---------------------------------------------------- | dset: read | Oh well, maybe my etc directory is too out of date :) ... at any rate I prefer this new(er) approach.
