You should file a bug report about this showing the output your getting. Can help you with "stopping the boot time messages from showing". But there is no control over showing only errors. The only error at boot time is the system freezing up. You will notice this when it happens. Any other error such as missed spelled options in /etc/rc.conf is not an boot error. They are just ignored and the boot process continues by design. If you use a boot time splash screen those "boot time messages" will not show rolling across your master console. A few boot loader messages, including the boot options menu and the timed wait countdown prompt, are still displayed at boot time, even with the boot splash screen enabled. See handbook for info on how to configure. https://www.freebsd.org/doc/handbook/boot-splash.html
