Besides this... there is something that I realize now... which might lead to something : I've always found strange that my system displays a drive letter - R -, which I never could access - TOS ERROR I don't remeber what, but meaning the drive doesn't exist -. It wasn't obvious at first sight, as I was looking for the ramfs driver, last day, but now, if I understand correctly, R is automatically mapped to the default ramdrive when booting the system, isn't it ? If so, and as this drive appeared as mounted but not accessable until I forced it by aliasing in cnf, it might tend to mean that the code might hide some malicious bug. Might I be right ?
