How would fstab look? fstab(5) is irrelevant; that has to do with mounting filesystems. What you're thinking of is called a symbolic link (see ln(1)). On 5.x, you can configure devfs(8) to make links for you. /etc/devfs.conf comes with an example for making a link from /dev/acd0 to /dev/cdrom. ___ freebsd-questions@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-questions To unsubscribe, send any mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED]
