I was greeted by a splash screen featuring some ASCII art resembling a naval mine and sprinkled with the lowercase letters "s", "o", and "y" in seemingly random places, with one pair of letters forming a "yo". This left me confused as to whether I was suffering from random screen corruption, lacking some line drawing character set needed to render the art correctly, or if the splash screen was actually supposed to look like that. I suppose it was, because googling I found screenshots showing the same thing, for example at http://www.ruchirablog.com/how-to-install-freebsd-on-a-kvm-vps/ . But in any case, FreeBSD would surely make a more professional and less confusing first impression if the letters were replaced by, for example, some artfully chosen punctuation. >How-To-Repeat: Boot FreeBSD-9.1-RELEASE-amd64-dvd1.iso. >Fix: >Release-Note: >Audit-Trail: >Unformatted:
