I probably could have worded my commit message better; when I said
"output at boot time", I meant "output from rc scripts at boot time".
With RCng, output looks like this (partial):

	Updating motd.
	Starting ntpd.
	Configuring syscons: blanktime allscreens.
	...
	Starting moused.
	Starting cron.

All the messages have trailing periods; this commit just makes that
message, which is only output in the RCng case, consistent with the
rest.
