As Eugene already noted - syscons has scrollback buffer. Did you tried "Scroll Lock" on your keyboard? If you need to re-show message of any installed package, "pkg info -D" (or pkg info --pkg-message) is your friend. Nothing is lost. You can view it anytime. # pkg info -D mariadb101-server mariadb101-server-10.1.33: Always: ************************************************************************ Remember to run mysql_upgrade (with the optional --datadir=<dbdir> flag) the first time you start the MySQL server after an upgrade from an earlier version. MariaDB respects hier(7) and doesn't check /etc and /etc/mysql for my.cnf. Please move existing my.cnf files from those paths to /usr/local/etc and /usr/local/etc/mysql. This port does NOT include the mytop perl script, this is included in the MariaDB tarball but the most recent version can be found in the databases/mytop port ************************************************************************ Miroslav Lachman
