It's important to understand that FreeMiNT is not unix, but DOS. And
there is no such thing as a root filesystem in DOS. Like Helmut says, a
preceding "/" in a path does not refer to the root of the filesystem
(which would be a constant thing) but the calling process' current
drive. And *that* can be anything :)

Maybe that's the reason why you have to start NetSurf from u:\ for it to
find it's resource file.
