Subject: Can't specify root partition on the 8th or greater partition of a disk on some architectures

>Originator:     
>Release:        NetBSD 1.6ZK
>Organization:
Wasabi Systems
>Environment:
NetBSD 1.6ZK, i386 (but not important)
>Description:

	Some ports (hpcmips, i386, ibmnws, playstation2, sbmips) have
	MAXPARTITIONS set to 16 in <machine/disklabel.h> but only
	have "maxpartitions 8" in .../conf/files.<machine>.  This
	precludes building a kernel with root or dumps on the 9th or
	more partition on any disk.

>How-To-Repeat:

	Make a simple config file in arch/i386/conf with

		include "arch/i386/conf/std.i386"
		config  netbsd  root on sd0i type ?

	and run config(8) on it.  You'll see:

		FOO:22: netbsd: invalid root device name `sd0i'

	as the first error.  Other errors as caused by a short config
	file and can be ignored for the sake of this PR.

>Fix:
	None given.

 Does this part need to be backed out too? [I don't think so.]
