Hi all,
in order to fix a hardware problem with 4.8 release I need to move to
the current or 4.9 kernel.
Having not played around with openbsd's dev trunk before; what is
expected to work/not to work if I just dump in a new bsd kernel and
reboot?
I quite happily run git built linux kernels willy nilly on older dists
which MOST of the time is fine. Am I going to be safe doing this in
OpenBSD.
Kind regards

Don't do this. Mis-matching the kernel and user-land has unpredictable
results. Well, unpredictable in that no one will take the time to figure
out what things might not work.
I'd suggest jumping to 4.9-current entirely.
