Hi all,
I just installed  a fresh 10.1-release and noted that the "Booting..."
message is now on a blue background. Apparently this has been reported
as a bug: https://bugs.freebsd.org/bugzilla/show_bug.cgi?id=182145
I was instead wondering if FreeBSD has applied the same schema used by
OpenBSD: the kernel messages have a different background. This helps a
lot understanding what is going on in the console, and is in my
opinion, a better way than using a bold white for the kernel messages.
Now the question is: is there a configuration tunable for turning on
blue all the kernel messages as the initial booting message?
I mean something simpler than having to tune options and recompile the
kernel (https://forums.freebsd.org/threads/boot-and-kernel-message-background-and-color.33196/).

Thanks,
Luca
