That's very helpful, thanks!
/var is mounted "ffs rw,nodev,nosuid, 1 2"
/var/www isn't specifically mentioned.
Would it be affected by the /var mount settings?
Thanks again.

According to this:
https://www.reddit.com/r/openbsd/comments/nygjdm/lighttpd_cant_find_devnull_on_69/
there's supposed to be a directory here: /usr/sbin/chroot/ but chroot is
actually a file.
I'm not sure how to proceed to fix the dev/null problem ...
Assuming /var/www/dev does not already exist, this should do it:
# mkdir /var/www/dev
# cd /var/www/dev
# sh /dev/MAKEDEV std
# rm !(null)
If it already exists then you may need to adapt the rm command to
preserve existing entries, or use mknod(8) manually to just create
the "null" node.
You'll also need to make sure that /var/www is _not_ mounted with
the "nodev" option (/etc/fstab).
If this is a hard requirement for lighttpd then the port could
probably do with explaining it somewhere .. (maintainer cc'd)
