I've just found it a little inconvienent that FreeBSD dumps dmesg output into ttyv0. Here's why. If you start up the system, and log in on ttyv0, all your X errors (ie, poor mpegs) are thrown into the same console as your dmesg output. I much prefer the way certain other unices have set things up, where dmesg output (and dmesg output only), is dumped into ttyv11, or some other tty.. I've grown into a habit of switching to ttyv1 before logging in, which is a roundabout solution. Is there any specific reason why this is handled the way it is? Thanks, -dan
