Currently, my FreeBSD machine (RELEASE-6.0) isn't reporting anything at all when I call up dmesg. It has been on for quite some time, and to the best of my knowledge there isn't much of interest it should have reported recently. It DID say something back at its initial bootup and for some time thereafter, but nothing now. Is this normal, or should I be a bit concerned? -- Nicholas Killewald
