- .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 provides executable code when read.
- The kernel does an
- .IR exec (2)
- of
- .B /boot
- when initializing.
- Some kernels are built with other services, such as
- .IR kfs (4) ,
- in the root directory.
- .SH SOURCE
