Having to stare at /etc/path_to_inst to figure out how the devices map to the hardware sounds like a defect rather than a feature to me. That aside, it sounds like you have a lot of thoughts about how this stuff ought to work. Would it be possible to proceed with setting up the new project, and then continue this detailed conversation on a new mailing list for that project? I'm not sure that plumbing the depths of /dev is really on-topic for opensolaris-discuss. -- James Carlson, KISS Network <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Sun Microsystems / 1 Network Drive 71.232W Vox +1 781 442 2084 MS UBUR02-212 / Burlington MA 01803-2757 42.496N Fax +1 781 442 1677 _______________________________________________ opensolaris-discuss mailing list [email protected]
