It wasn't there in the var/log/messages either. I'm not interested in the time (uname gave me that), but rather where the boot message got off to. It still shows on the console during boot (I checked) but that's all. I use the new loader.conf mechanism to boot with, and I also notice that the dmesg now is too short to catch teh entire boot message (I load about 8 modules, and the first couple get truncated). How would I increase the amount of memory given to boot messages for dmesg? ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- Chuck Robey | Interests include any kind of voice or data chuckr@glue.umd.edu | communications topic, C programming, and Unix. 213 Lakeside Drive Apt T-1 | Greenbelt, MD 20770 | I run picnic (FreeBSD-current) (301) 220-2114 | and jaunt (Solaris7). ----------------------------+----------------------------------------------- To Unsubscribe: send mail to majordomo@FreeBSD.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-current" in the body of the message
