Version 7.9, another excellent release from the OpenBSD team
thanks very much to all involved.
A mindful point for those who are upgrading and have more than 10
combined physical and softraid disks attached to a machine - the
pending support for 52 partitions has necessitated /dev/sdX minor
device renumbering.
The upgrade process manages this renumbering via the long standing
/dev/MAKEDEV script, but only for sd0 through to sd9 inclusive.
Devices sd10 and beyond require manual intervention
i.e.
sh /dev/MAKEDEV sd10 sd11 etc.
It is trivial to manage but easy to miss as sd10+ devices are
likely to be under the radar.
