(my boot disk is an IDE drive) i don't think my sound device was found. questions: how can i make symlinks in it? ( i really didn't try yet, but i'd like to have /dev/mouse -> /dev/cuaa0 and whatnot ) is devfs considered stable? it doesn't seem that usable in it's current state, but i'm assuming it's operator error ;) thanks, Alfred Perlstein -- Programmer @ HotJobs Inc.
