(Yet Another Sysctl Variable) I vote for adding a sysctl variable for bootverbose, so it can be turned off later. I would hide the printf's in question behind bootverbose then. (Heck, i didn't even remember an open PR for it, but FDDI was never of my interest before...) Anybody objecting against these changes? -- cheers, J"org joerg_wunsch@uriah.heep.sax.de -- http://www.sax.de/~joerg/ -- NIC: JW11-RIPE Never trust an operating system you don't have sources for. ;-)
