I'm trying to disable, change, or hide the text displayed or outputted =
to the screen as the system boots. I have set up a machine with no =
monitor, nor keyboard, and I connect to the device via the serial =
interface. My goal is to create an embedded device, on which the user =
will to connect via the serial port and go directly to the user/login =
prompt.=20
=20
I'm a little new to FreeBSD and I could not find any documentation that =
will help me do this. To avoid some of the confusion about the text I'm =
talking about, I have attached a sample of the display I would like to =
change or disable (and the text that follows).
Any help on this matter would be greatly appreciated.
Regards,
Tommy Bartus
