-Just an info on something I could found nowhere
(searched the device namings section of FreeBSD handbook,
books, other forums..etc)
I know that IDE ATAPI cdrom drive is
acd -
acd0 = 1st IDE ATAPI cdrom
acd1 = 2nd IDE ATAPI cdrom
acd2 = 3rd IDE ATAPI cdrom
..etc
My question: why is there mention in FreeBSD manuals
and technicals of acd0a, acd0b..etc Why that letter
at the end (which normaly designates a partition --but
there's no partitions on a Cd rom!!!)
OS that I have - FreeBSD 5.1
Historical reasons. Those devices are the ones in use on 4.x.
