File name of stack weirdness

[Devin Asay]

In my experience this is normal OS X/Unix behavior. The "root" level  
of the system is defined as the "top" level of the boot volume, so in  
a terminal if you do 'cd /' you are taken to the top level of the  
boot drive. If my boot volume is 'Macintosh HD' that information is  
not included in the path name. However, if I want to access a file or  
folder on another volume I must preface the cd command with /Volumes/ 
DriveName.

The behavior is Rev is consistent with the unix file system model and  
is completely expected.
