@ -187,19 +187,10 @@ The root device can be specified symbolically or numerically.
A symbolic specification has the form
.IR /dev/XXYN ,
where XX designates
the device type ('hd' for ST-506 compatible hard disk, with Y in
\&'a'-'d'; 'sd' for SCSI compatible disk, with Y in 'a'-'e';
\&'ad' for Atari ACSI disk, with Y in 'a'-'e',
\&'ez' for a Syquest EZ135 parallel port removable drive, with Y='a',
\&'xd' for XT compatible disk, with Y either 'a' or 'b'; 'fd' for
floppy disk, with Y the floppy drive number\(emfd0 would be
the DOS 'A:' drive, and fd1 would be 'B:'), Y the driver letter or
number, and N the number (in decimal) of the partition on this device
(absent in the case of floppies).
Recent kernels allow many other
types, mostly for CD-ROMs: nfs, ram, scd, mcd, cdu535, aztcd, cm206cd,
gscd, sbpcd, sonycd, bpcd.
(The type nfs specifies a net boot; ram refers to a ram disk.)
the device type (e.g., 'hd' for ST-506 compatible hard disk, with Y in
\&'a'-'d'; 'sd' for SCSI compatible disk, with Y in 'a'-'e'),
Y the driver letter or
number, and N the number (in decimal) of the partition on this device.
Note that this has nothing to do with the designation of these
devices on your filesystem.
