>Synopsis: lose the '** Begin system maintenance tasks **' message
>Confidential: no
>Severity: non-critical

>State: open

>Release: FreeBSD 2.1.0-Development i386
>Environment:
FreeBSD 2.1.0 as of last night
>Description:
echo '** Begin system maintainance tasks **'
is gratuitous. Given all of the crap currently being echoed to the
screen at startup, why do we need yet another line that can scroll useful
information off the top of the screen.
I'm sure it was useful when you were debugging the rc* stuff, but now
it's just annoying.
>How-To-Repeat:
Boot system

# /var/crash should be a directory or a symbolic link

if [ "X${savecore}" = X"YES" -a -d /var/crash ]; then
