With Netscape 3.01 Gold US version, and FreeBSD 2.2-BETA, I am unable to read  
the root directory.  I can view anything under the root directory, but can't 
even cd up to root.  Here is an example:

URL:	file:/			(doesn't work - can't find directory)
URL:	file:/COPYRIGHT		(works fine)
URL:	file:/usr		(this also works)

Now with a listing of the /usr file directory, if I click on the "Up To 
Parent Directory" link, then I get the same error as if I manually typed in 
file:/.  What gives?  Here is the output of ls -ld /:

drwxr-xr-x  17 root  wheel  512 Dec 29 14:59 /

This looks fine to me?  Any help would be appreciated - Please email me too.

Thanks  -STEVEl
