Just like other Unix systems, the root directory of Mac OS X is also the root directory in/,finder, which is the hard disk directory, or MACINTOSHHD. The new version of OS X system begins to hide the root directory because most users do not need access. Here are four ways to quickly access the root directory.

(1) Open finder, click "Go" in the upper menu bar, then "personal", jump directly.

(2) Shortcut key combination: Command + SHIFT + G; Note: After you open the Finder, press the shortcut key, then enter "/" to go to the root directory.

For users who frequently want to access the root directory, the Macintosh HD shortcuts will be more efficient. In any folder (except "All my Files") right-click on the title bar (Top of folder window, center title bar) and select Macintosh HD. Finally, drag the hard drive icon on the left side of the Macintosh HD to the sidebar to complete the operation. When you need to access the root directory in the future, just click on the sidebar shortcut.

Open the Finder's preferences, and in common mode, tick the box in front of the hard drive. This will have Macintosh HD on the desktop and can be accessed by double-clicking.
