The style is inconsistent in many places and I still maintain that I do *NOT* want to know about all the things it didn't find, I want to know about only the things it did since the "fnob0: not found" messages just obscure the messages I'm really looking for (or cause them to scroll off the screen). Unfortunately, I seem to be in the minority here as a number of other folks say that they like all that "extra diagnostic information." I say fiddlesticks, and it's time to make the -v flag earn its keep. FreeBSD should either shut up entirely or spew loads of stuff at you if you boot with -v. Anyone of a mind to go on a little boot message reform rampage? Jordan
