Hello,

/dev/log has been moved to /var/run/syslog.socket (like /dev/printer was moved
to /var/run/printer long ago).

This way, diskless clients can share a read-only /dev now.

Upgrade procedure: 

- "make build" all your system and reboot afterwards.
or
- If you need to run a partially rebuilt system:
  use syslogd -p /dev/log -p /var/run/syslog.socket
  E.g., in the file
	/etc/rc.conf
   change the line
--------------------------------------------------
syslogd=YES             syslogd_flags=""
--------------------------------------------------
   to
--------------------------------------------------
syslogd=YES             syslogd_flags="-p /dev/log -p /var/run/syslog.socket"
--------------------------------------------------

Regards,
	-is
