NAME
       root - the root file system

SYNOPSIS
       /

       /net.alt

       /osinit.dis

DESCRIPTION
       This  device is set up by the kernel to be the initial root of the name
       space.  In the emulation environment, the names in the  one-level  tree
       shown above are mostly just place-holders, to allow a place on which to
       bind (see sys-bind(2)).

       In the native environment, an arbitrary initial directory structure and
       file content can be built-in when the kernel is configured, but it will
       typically include at least the names above, to  act  as	mount  points.
       (See the discussion of the `root section' in conf(10.6).)  The required
       file /osinit.dis (not present in the emulation environment) provides an
       executable  Dis binary when read, and is the first program invoked when
       initialising the system.	 Other files needed for bootstrap  might  also
       reside in this device.

       Its  local  name	 #/  can  be  used by programs outside the kernel, for
       instance to implement newns in newns(2).
