Yes, the current root directory is part of a process's data. Even a "cd /" would still go to the initramfs roto. Perhaps we could add an option to specify where teh root will move to (relative to the initramfs root) and brltty could then keep checking for it until it shows up. >I just checked, tty<n> exists, but vcsa1 is the only device >that exists (because init has not yet started and there are no gettys yet). I don't think gettys create those. I think its udev that does. >So I could rpbobably also just set -W /dev ? Yes, although some other interesting files, e.g. usbfs, may show up there too then. That's probably okay, though. By the way: Does the initramfs stay mounted to the final root file system? -- Dave Mielke | 2213 Fox Crescent | I believe that the Bible is the Phone: 1-613-726-0014 | Ottawa, Ontario | Word of God.
