There should be a 'dmesg_enable="YES"' line in your /etc/defaults/rc.conf file, so you should get that behavior unless that variable is set to "NO" in /etc/rc.conf. Which version of FreeBSD are you running? (I doubt it makes a difference, but it would be good to say what it is). One thing that might be happening is that /etc/rc.d/dmesg is run at startup, but then something mounts a new filesystem on top of /var . You could always run /etc/rc.d/dmesg shortly after a system reboot, and see what that does to /var/run/dmesg.boot. -- Garance Alistair Drosehn = drosih@rpi.edu Senior Systems Programmer or gad@FreeBSD.org Rensselaer Polytechnic Institute; Troy, NY; USA
