Is that's me you're referring to ?  :-)

The idea was for it to be a flag that you could set so early that you
could catch boot-related stuff (to which I consider the slice but 
not the FDDI messages).  As soon as you have single user running
you can tweak a sysctl variable, and things that can use that,
should use that instead.

So:  FDDI should have a sysctl:

	net.fddi.verbose

or similar, possibly two different ones...
