In linux a path like /f/netsurf is perfectly valid and I use such path every day./ <mountpoint> / folder[specifies the root filesystem] [specifies the disk] [specifies a folder on the disk]That's how it is on FreeMiNT, at least I thought so.
It is for MiNT-aware programs, but not for TOS-programs running under MiNT. If you pass /f/xy to a TOS-program it would use X:/f/xy, X: being the current drive. So all mintlib-output is handled that way (and reversed in input). If you break this by passing mintlib-output to non-mintlib-functions you'll get an error.
I don't know much about linux, but it is certainly no default standard to have /d/ for D:/, you need something like fstab to provide these links.
Of course /dev/drive in MiNT is complete nonsense because it does not exist, and I don't like that.
I think I convert all this /dev/-stuff in my own programs when I encounter it.
