As you mention, devfs is mounted on startup, but then i see only the /dev/fd0 entry in it. Apparently, entries such as fd0a and fd0c are created when you try to access them e.g. with an "ls /dev/fd0c". However, somehow the first call to mount fails: # mount -o rdonly /dev/fd0c /fd mount: /dev/fd0c: No such file or directory # mount -o rdonly /dev/fd0c /fd whereas the second one succeeds. Would it mean that the fd0c entry is created, but somehow it returns an error to mount ? (and in case, should this be fixed) ? cheers luigi -----------------------------------+------------------------------------- Luigi RIZZO, luigi@iet.unipi.it .
