Good Day, I have recently completed an install of a FreeBSD 4.1.1 system. I noted a (what I felt) glaring deficiency in the install process that I would like to have made noted of. (Now I completely understand that I may have simply over looked this and if so I apologize). It occures to me that during the install of FreeBSD there is no way to go back thru the dmesg and note what hardware was detected at what locations. This seems to me to be something that would be helpful to know prior to blowing away are rewriting disk partitions. Other systems (notably SuSE Linux) allow the installer to review the detected hardware (and load kernel modules to pick up missed hardware) prior to the install process ever beginning. I would like to petition this group for opinions on the viability and usefulness of this as an improvement to be made in the FreeBSD install program.
