Okay, I tracked down my two recent problems with iostat and systat, for some
nasty reason the kernel is #defining the max number of disks to keep stats on
(grumble grumble grumble) DK_NDRIVE, and its set to 8, I reset it to 16,
recompiled kernel and related binaries (iostat/systat) and now both tools
notice all 13 of my disks and systat no longer dumps core.

Although it is odd that it does.. I'll have too look further, but the problem
may have been when I fed systat a drive name that it didnt find in the kernel
list it barfed..
