I should add, in further investigation on other OpenBSD 5.9 systems I've
found one with,
/etc/group:_sndiop:*:110:
/etc/master.passwd:_sndiop:*:110:110::0:0:sndio privileged

all this sorted now.
Since upgrading to 5.9 I noticed that sndiod wasn't starting:

With OpenBSD 5.8 if I plug in my USB external drive then check usbdevs
or sysctl hw.disknames then I don't see it and dmesg doesn't show
anything. If I boot with the drive already plugged in then I see it. I
