>Release:        FreeBSD 2.1.0-Development i386
>Environment:

FreeBSD 2.1.0-current as of last night on a system with a buslogic
BT445S controller.

>Description:

There's a lot of crud printed at boot time that is only interesting if
we're booting with the -v (verbose) flag set.  Lose it.

bt0: Bt445S/ 0-PCI/EISA/VLB(32bit) bus
bt0: reading board settings, dma=5, int=11
bt0: version 3.37, fast sync, no parity, 32 mbxs, 32 ccbs
bt0: targ 0 sync rate=10.00MB/s(100ns), offset=15
bt0: targ 1 sync rate= 4.54MB/s(220ns), offset=15
bt0: targ 4 async
bt0: targ 6 async
bt0: Enabling Round robin scheme
bt0 at 0x330 irq 11 drq 5 on isa

Of all of this stuff, the only interesting lines that should be printed
if -v is not set are:

bt0: Bt445S/ 0-PCI/EISA/VLB(32bit) bus
bt0 at 0x330 irq 11 drq 5 on isa

>How-To-Repeat:

Boot a current kernel on a box with a buslogic controller and watch the fun.

>Fix:
	
Conditionalize things so only useful information is printed without -v.

By the way, the reason I am on this less is better kick is because I'm
trying to stop the useful information from being scrolled off the screen
if something really is wrong.
