Hi
Is it possible to create a symlink to a device and use the symlink in place
of the real device name in FreeBSD, especially in version 7.2?
1. A disk
/dev/camera -> /dev/da0s1
2. A network device
re0 -> lan0
That's no problem: Use the "link" statement: "link <source> <target>",
such as
link da0s1 camera
link re0 lan0
in you /etc/devfs.conf file. See the manual page for this file for
more information, or see the example entries in this file.
