Anyhow, in the midst of all the screwing around, I now find that, on the Ascii-graphics FreeBSD loader UI, if I choose Option #5 (verbose loading) then the printing of the regular probe messages starts back up (this is NOT the verbose probe messages, it's the printing of the regular probing messages.) I have to admit, I don't clearly know the difference, in setting the variables, between verbose loading the verbose probing. I know the difference in what prints, but I don't know how to set this up permanently without getting me that verbose probing, which I would like to avoid. Any idea how to set that up.verbose loading but regular probing, the same as hitting the option #5? -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2.0.4 (FreeBSD) Comment: Using GnuPG with Mozilla - http://enigmail.mozdev.org iD8DBQFHdECiz62J6PPcoOkRAreqAJ9WdUryTFSnGl5ttUn7+KUfYYk76gCfXfT7 1v6oyGZFJJcSPsH+8tPOkBs= =gJtu -----END PGP SIGNATURE-----
