Unfortunately latest is a hard thing to come back from.

Yes, it's from this that I originally found out some of the USB-related stuff, unfortunately nothing bearing on my actual question here. Still, if it is indeed unexpected that a USB drive plugged in after boot would not appear among devices listed by usbdevs, sysctl hw.disknames, etc. then that is already useful information, thank you: I had worried that I simply just didn't realize the OpenBSD way of doing these things. -- Mark
