Any way to disable this message thingee? On UNIX machines, the ``console'' is the traditional place for system messages to pop up on. FreeBSD comes preconfigured with 4 virtual consoles, and this first one (ttyv0) is the one where messages appear. Login in from one of the others, which can be reached with ALT+F[1-4]. ALT+F1 -> ttyv0 ALT+F2 -> ttyv1 ALT+F3 -> ttyv2 ALT+F4 -> ttyv3 -- James
