2. Limits (standard devices)

There are some limits in this version of devinfo : it will only create a special number of devices (e.g. ramdisks, hda partitions). If one of these limits is unrealistic, please tell me. Most limits have no good reason, i yust didn't want to create hunderts of devices, so i only ceate a few. If a limit is to low for you : a) please tell me and b) modify /etc/devinfo (should be easy).
