I was pretty sure I did - I mean, it definitely didn't exist in 
/dev/(r)dsk/, so logic says to me since UNIX runs off filenames as 
pointers to everything that it should be a no go, but I'll check tonight 
for both locations (dsk & rdsk) to be sure there's not some voodoo BS 
going on and it does in fact just work.
