Josh, See http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/query-pr.cgi?pr=76942 The commit at http://www.freebsd.org/cgi/cvsweb.cgi/doc/en_US.ISO8859-1/books/faq/book.sgml#rev1.690 is a somewhat different patch than I originally submitted. In my original patch, still available at http://zanchey.ucc.asn.au/freebsd/usermount.faq.book.sgml.patch, it sticks with acd0, because (generally speaking) new users/readers of the FAQ will have IDE drives. (I realise that not everyone uses IDE, and I should clarify this point. In my experience, users with SCSI drives are generally slightly more clueful than those with just IDE drives.) I didn't have any problems with the version committed by jcamou@, mainly because I didn't spot this inconsistency. The best course of action here, I think, is probably to submit a separate patch and PR (because mine has been closed) and say something like "Problem introduced in commit 1.689 as a result of docs/76942". A good spot on your behalf! Cheers, David Adam zanchey@ucc.gu.uwa.edu.au
