(2.2.5) Sender: owner-freebsd-hackers@freebsd.org X-Loop: FreeBSD.org Precedence: bulk Once I got 2.2.5 I was pleasantly surprised by the new bootup message. However, I find it does not stay on long enough. I think a better approach is to have a longer time and have an option to press a key to turn off the timer for this time. The reasons behind this is that new users would be the ones reading that first page. The current amount of time is too little for a new comer to look at the info displayed.
