I'm going to investigate whether this is a more generic way to get this information (so the list doesn't grow infinitely long), and will commit this if I can't. Having CAM devices be part of newbus would simplify this a very great deal... See: http://people.freebsd.org/~marcel/gpt.diff It was my initial attempt of creating a generic (ncurses-based) partition editor that uses gpart. (the name of the patch relates to the perforce branch it was done on, not the partitioning scheme). In it you'll find a diff for sbin/pe/disk.c that contains logic for presenting a friendly "disk" name. Not complete, but maybe good for inspiration... FYI, -- Marcel Moolenaar xcllnt@mac.com
