.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.
