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.
