howdy,

everything is peachy with 7.1 (with xfs) install, but how can I disable
the devfs from mounting, even temporarily???  I'm loading XFS support
solely
to mount several Jaz cartridges that were formated with XFS, and I would
like to
make changes to /dev in order to get "subsequent" mounts to work (XFS).

I tried:

append="devfs=nomount" in lilo.conf but "devfs" is mounting elsewhere.

is there a "workaround" or a "fix" for "non-hackers" like myself to
disable devfs??
I know it is a good daemon, but I would like to disable it.

thanx,

dru
