In netbsd-6 it is just an internal name and the utilities have to use the /dev/dkN (or /dev/rdkN) devices. Some understand dkN and expand it to the proper pathname. In netbsd-7, many utilities understand the string NAME=wedgename and translate them to /dev/dkN accordingly. Some bootloaders also understand a string wedge:wedgename to select a wedge as the root filesystem. E.g. the RPI2 here uses the boot command line: verbose fb=1920x1200 root=wedge:twitty-root console=fb and uses the following fstab entries: NAME=twitty-root / ffs rw,log,nodevmtime 1 1 NAME=twitty-usr /usr ffs rw,log 1 1 NAME=twitty-var /var ffs rw,log 1 1 NAME=twitty-swap none swap sw 0 0 NAME=bootcard/e /boot msdos rw 1 1 NAME=twitty-home /home lfs rw,nodev,nosuid 1 2 Greetings, -- -- Michael van Elst Internet: mlel...@serpens.de "A potential Snark may lurk in every tree."
