It's a list of all the devices the kernel is attempting to probe for
on your machine. Very useful, if you have a hardware problem.

You have a Pentium with the show-stopper F00F bug. The kernel will
work around it.

You didn't shut your machine down properly. Next time, instead of
switching it off, log in as root as use:
shutdown -h now

running a file-system check on them.

Under FreeBSD, root's home directory is "/root", and not "/" (which is
what most System V UNIX implementations have). bin, dev, usr are all
there. Try:
cd /
ls
