Warner: Thank you! I thought that perhaps it might be useful to (for example) keep Ethernet port names the same when ports were added to the system. But if it's not, I'll just deactivate it. I do need to keep devd on, because I sometimes plug in USB memory sticks. --Brett At 06:51 PM 3/23/2019, you wrote: >On Sat, Mar 23, 2019 at 6:27 PM Brett Glass ><<mailto:brett@lariat.net>brett@lariat.net> wrote: >Everyone: >I've been building custom kernels for FreeBSD 12.0, and have noticed >a message on the console, during boot, that I haven't seen from prior >versions.
