 Huh.  New 5.2 feature, I take it?  I didn't know about that, but if it 
 accomplishes the same thing, probably a better place to put it.
 
 The only thing I can think of is, and I'm not familiar with devfs.conf 
 syntax, is:
 
 Would devfs.conf iterate over all the available rasr# that are 
 installed?  Or would you have to make a link for 0 - 15, and then those 
 that aren't installed would just fail?
 
 Doesn't particularly matter which way it gets done, I'd defer to the 
 'cleanest' method.
