We're talking about what to do for the great majority of users who aren't in your shoes at all and don't want to be. You can always boot with -v to have the messages in question, I'm not talking about removing them so much as not making them the _default_. Don't worry, I don't want this to become NT either. :) - Jordan To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
