Hi,
I noticed the sd device (devsd, '#s') doesnt probe for partitions
itself, but relies on an external source for partitions. Commands like
disk/prep -p and disk/fdisk -p can probe the disk to generate the commands
sd needs to populate the tables. The /rc/bin/termrc has such fdisk and
prep commands. What is confusing to me though is that I cant find a
similar instance for cpurc. How are these tables populated in the cpu
case (9load through the getconf call that devsd makes?)? Pointers to
where in the code to look would be appreciated.
Tim N.
