Hi, |
| 2 |
I know nothing of this part of the Linux boot process. If it's |
| 3 |
*fairly* simple can someone point me at the right stuff to understand |
| 4 |
how Gentoo creates a link from /dev/rtc to rtc0? When in the boot |
| 5 |
process does this link become valid? |
| 6 |
|
| 7 |
Is it something that's held in a file and recreated from that file |
| 8 |
on each boot? Is it created automagically by Gentoo Angels that look |
| 9 |
after my well being but seldom reveal themselves? Is it created by the |
| 10 |
kernel itself when something is specifically configured to do so? |
| 11 |
Something else? |
| 12 |
|
| 13 |
Thanks, |
| 14 |
