In-Reply-To: Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-freebsd-questions@FreeBSD.ORG X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk You are right, since I killed syslog and it still came up. Is there a way to restirct /dev/console to only ttyv0 or something? That would be perfect. I even tried somethings to the affect of: # cat < /dev/console > /dev/null & but they did not do the trick. I could have rm'ed /dev/console, and linked it to a real file, but that would be a bit too harsh. I would think there would be something in either /etc/ttys, or possibly the syscons source code.
