Er, `bootverbose' always had that meaning. It's a (poorly named) `verbose' flag that happens to be set at boot time. The general `verbose' flag has to be set at boot time so that it applies to boot messages. >I'm all for it. > >There are already precedences for this abuse, e.g. in the slice code >(prining of the slice's start and end address in the bootverbose case >-- even though opening a slice is not necessarily related to booting). The author of `bootverbose' told me that it was a general flag when I objected to using it for controlling the slice messages. Bruce
