I haven't tried; but it wouldn't surprise me to find that OpenBSD uses
raw devices too.
Mini-Unix has removed 'raw' devices
(not sure why, probably seemed
un-needed),
If it's relevant FreeBSD hasn't had raw devices for ages (not
needed?); I don't know about Penguin/OS because my Debian box is off
the air right now (and my Ubuntu box's video is beyond repair).
