I did a search through the CFIDE and CFDOCS directories for use of the mapping (which is usually a <cfinclude template="/...) and found a couple of instances in CFDOCS, but none in the CFIDE. It appears that CF expects "/" to be mapped to the parent directory of CFDOCS and CFIDE. On a machine without the documentation installed, it appears that it's not used. Interestingly, CF doesn't permit you to delete the "/" mapping.
