I attempted to install the linux java sapgui on FreeBSD 5.0, but the jar

adding this to /dev but was unable to.  Does anyone have any

For some unexcused reason there is the trend in Linux to represent
everything as kind of a wired half finished pseudo file system. /proc pipe
devicefs sysctl and so on... The list is really long. Even shared memmory is
mapped to ehrm.... a filesystem. This is "expected" to be mounted at /dev/shm by the system. You can't expect FreeBSD to follow this path...
