Years ago I provided diffs to the kernel boot to report some probes Before as well as after, so one could see which probe was about to hang, - more use than which probe was last to pass. Idea was rejected as some thought it was too verbose, but Nobody (me included) thought of having a bootverbose levels switch to hang on it on. ... Nice Idea ! Some Computer mags reccomend MS-* users to keep a boot flop for Linux or BSD, as we provide much more diagnostics than MS*, Before-probe-announcements would make it more valuable still. Imagine if the more competent of the MS crowd actually wanted to keep a FreeBSD boot floppy around :-) Julian Julian H. Stacey http://www.freebsd.org/~jhs/ Considering Linux ? Then also consider the 2000+ free packages for FreeBSD. To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
