I see. So how does the system deal with devices suddenly disappearing during shutdown? Also, the OP is not using a R/O system (it's a laptop) so if /dev is on a tmpfs then he must be doing it manually in his fstab, right? That's not the same as init doing it automatically. -- D'Arcy J.M. Cain <da...@netbsd.org> http://www.NetBSD.org/ IM:da...@vex.net
