23		    ...
24		250 = /dev/initrd	Initial RAM disk
25
26		Older kernels had /dev/ramdisk (1, 1) here.
27		/dev/initrd refers to a RAM disk which was preloaded
28		by the boot loader; newer kernels use /dev/ram0 for
29		the initrd.

33		  1 = /dev/ptyp1	Second PTY master
34		    ...
35		255 = /dev/ptyef	256th PTY master
36
37		Pseudo-tty's are named as follows:
38		* Masters are "pty", slaves are "tty";
39		* the fourth letter is one of pqrstuvwxyzabcde indicating
40		  the 1st through 16th series of 16 pseudo-ttys each, and
41		* the fifth letter is one of 0123456789abcdef indicating
42		  the position within the series.
43
44		These are the old-style (BSD) PTY devices; Unix98
45		devices are on major 128 and above and use the PTY
46		master multiplex (/dev/ptmx) to acquire a PTY on
47		demand.

101		5.25" Quad Density (q), 5.25" High Density (h) or 3.5"
102		(any model, u).	 The use of the capital letters D, H
103		and E for the 3.5" models have been deprecated, since
104		the drive type is insignificant for these devices.

115   3 block	First MFM, RLL and IDE hard disk/CD-ROM interface
116		  0 = /dev/hda		Master: whole disk (or CD-ROM)

118
119		For partitions, add to the whole disk device number:

123		    ...

230		225 = /dev/nst1a	Second SCSI tape, mode 3, no rewind
231		    ...
232
233		"No rewind" refers to the omission of the default
234		automatic rewind on device close.  The MTREW or MTOFFL
235		ioctl()'s can be used to rewind the tape regardless of
236		the device used to access it.
