[MERGED: Also in 2.2.8 and later releases on 2.2-STABLE branch]
systat(1), iostat(8), rpc.rstatd(8), and vmstat(8) have been
overhauled to use the new devstat(3) library and devstat(9) statistics
subsystem. Among other enhancements, these utilities (well, with the
exception of rpc.rstatd(8)) now print out more useful statistics, and can
see statistics for all devices in the system, not just the first 8.

** Note: You cannot boot from the SoundBlaster cards as they have no
on-board BIOS, such being necessary for mapping the boot device into the
system BIOS I/O vectors. They're perfectly usable for external tapes,
CDROMs, etc, however. The same goes for any other AIC-6x60 based card
without a boot ROM. Some systems DO have a boot ROM, which is generally
indicated by some sort of message when the system is first powered up
or reset, and in such cases you *will* also be able to boot from them.
Check your system/board documentation for more details.
