DESCRIPTION

     /dev/rldup     raw mode disk unit u, partition p

HISTORY
     The ld driver first appeared in NetBSD 1.5.3.

AUTHORS
     The ld driver was written by AndrewDoran <ad@netbsd.org>.

BUGS
     This driver is in reality a kludge intended to reduce code size and main-
     tenance overheads.

     The capacity and geometry of units as accessed through the ld driver may
     be different than when accessed through some other medium (e.g.  SCSI).
