SH DESCRIPTION
The syntax
L #/
is illegal, so this device can only be accessed directly by the kernel.
PP
This device is set up by the kernel to be the root of
the name space.
The names in the one-level tree are mostly just place-holders,
to allow a place to
IR bind (2)
to.
The exception is
BR /boot ,
which contains
B /boot/boot
and any files
B /boot/boot
might need.
The kernel does an
IR exec (2)
of
B /boot/boot
when initializing.
