I assume the grey is actually due to the contrast/brightness on your monitor. By default, FreeBSD kernel messages are printed in white on black. > Where can I read this gray text or better the error in bright white? dmesg(8) You might find it helps to change the colours of the console output. You can do this by setting SC_KERNEL_CONS_ATTR in your kernel config file. I find green on black the easiest to read: options SC_KERNEL_CONS_ATTR=(FG_GREEN|BG_BLACK) See NOTES/LINT for more documentation about this. - Philip -- Philip Paeps Please don't Cc me, I am philip@freebsd.org subscribed to the list.
