To day I install FreeBSD release 4.8 on a machine form the first time.
This is on a new machine so it could easily have as yet undetected
hardware faults.
I observe the 'dmesg' gives start up information not only for the latest
boot but also information generated in a number of previous boots.
I've not seen this with earlier FreeBSD realeases including 4.7.
Is it normal for FreeBSD 4.8 or should I be looking for hardware problems?
I notice some change in that the files /var/log/dmesg.{today,yesterday} do
not seem to be produced.
Any help welcome,
Malcolm Kay
