Westerback" To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org Subject: Lost boot up (pre DMESG) messages - BIOS mem ... Message-ID: MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: TEXT/PLAIN; charset=US-ASCII Sender: owner-questions@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk On 2.1.7 (and I believe, from earlier experiments, 3.0 as well) there are a few messages that flash past after booting is underway and are not recoverable from any log I know of, dmesg, or scrolling back with the scroll lock key sent. In particular one catches my eye, something about BIOS memory 639K .... Is there any way to recover these messages? Or to ask for a pause during boot that allows the messages to be read? ---- Ken
