See "man 5 syslog.conf" for details. To also silence the kernel, you could add boot_mute="YES" or (and?) consolse="nullconsole" to /boot/loader.conf. See "man 8 loader" and "man 5 loader.conf" and "less /boot/defaults/loader.conf" for details. Finally: Add the command "clear" or "/usr/bin/tput clear" at the end of the /etc/rc script (not very clean, but works). A quick web search brings up some inspiration: http://lists.freebsd.org/pipermail/freebsd-questions/2003-October/022911.html http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?t=10341 http://forums.freebsd.org/showthread.php?p=58256#post58256 You'll find a suggestion there on how to avoid fiddling with the /etc/rc boot script (which should stay untouched due to many reasons). -- Polytropon Magdeburg, Germany Happy FreeBSD user since 4.0 Andra moi ennepe, Mousa, ...
