@ -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.
