I probably could have worded my commit message better; when I said "output at boot time", I meant "output from rc scripts at boot time". With RCng, output looks like this (partial): Updating motd. Starting ntpd. Configuring syscons: blanktime allscreens. ... Starting moused. Starting cron. All the messages have trailing periods; this commit just makes that message, which is only output in the RCng case, consistent with the rest.
