what about grabbing the ids and host numbers out, and sorting the
devices out? im not quite sure how do to that... some substitution
and a for loop maybe. getting the logic right would be tricky.

er no, im not sure what i was thinking, i think i though the numbers
in the devfs name would screw that up. i removed that unecessary if.

ah ok good. ofpath should work both ways, as in ofpath /dev/sda gets
you the device without partition number and ofpath /dev/sda2 gives you
path with the partition number. same for devfs should be. ofpath
/dev/crap/part2 should be == ofpath /dev/sda2 and ofpath
/dev/crap/disc should be == ofpath /dev/sda.

ckdevfs should already handle that no? if you have the standard
shotname links in /dev and hand ofpath /dev/sda ckdevfs will think we
are not on devfs and things will work fine. ofpath has always worked
that way.
yabootconfig is where it gets wierd because even if you try and hide
devfs names it finds one with the df trick to find the kernel device.
updated ofpath and yabootconfig are posted
