 Great - glad it is solved.
 
 I have requested that the opendisk() fix get "pulled-up" to NetBSD-7.0.3 
 (no release scheduled, we just came out with 7.0.2 a few months ago).  I 
 have also requested pull-up for NetBSD-7.1, but since it is already at 
 the RC1 stage I cannot promise that the request will be accepted;  if 
 not, it would make NetBSD-7.1.1 (if/when released).
 
 I'll close the PR once the pull-ups are completed, and I'll update you 
 on the final release plan.
