Sandi, Sorry, I'm not clear on what you are saying here. The device, /dev/disk1 does exist, but unlike a "normal" or static /dev file system, I assume that perhaps this works more like the DevFS found in some LInux distros? I have to admit that I am not that familiar with the newer file systems, which is my fault for letting my knowledge get rusty. Can you please clarify what you mean?
