It's detected that you don't have anything compatible= with hptrr(4) and (unlike the usual behaviour of most Raid Controller drivers (or drivers for any sort of hardware really)) it considers this=20 fact to be of such vital importance that it really had to print out something on the console. Needless to say such behaviour has already bee= n=20 quashed in 7-STABLE and will not appear in 7.1-RELEASE. In other words, it's harmless and you can just ignore it. =20 I suspect that this output wasn't actually triggered by your changing the console setting -- there's no conceivable way changing one should affect the other -- but that changing the way the boot messages are=20 displayed has managed to draw your attention to it. You probably had it=20 before but never noticed.
