A point of confusion on my part is that sometime it seems that system message buffer is preserved accross reboots, if that makes any sense. I've seen situations where 'dmesg' (and by extension dmesg.boot) will contain multiple passes of device probes, etc. I could easily be imagining this, as I can't think of a mechanism to allow for it, nor a reason to do it... > -- > R -- Brian 'you Bastard' Reichert 37 Crystal Ave. #303 Daytime number: (603) 434-6842 Derry NH 03038-1713 USA Intel architecture: the left-hand path To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
