Hey,
i found pretty weird that if i go 'fdisk' as root (of course) - i get
output as follows :=20

root@freenix#fdisk
fdisk: can't get file status of /dev/od0
fdisk: cannot open any disk: No such file or directory

I found in 'man fdisk' that actually fdisk is looking in /dev for disks
`wd0', `da0', and `od0'  in that order, until one is being found
responding.
Why it follows only those 3 devices?
