Maybe I'm missing something, but the data needed to adjust HDAC is available from 'sysctl dev.hdaa'. I have not looked at the verbose output in quite a while, but I think it is mstly or entirely hte information in that and 'sysctl dev.hdac'. I never needed to look elsewhere to get mine set up properly. Also, isn't the entire verbose boot captured in /var/run/dmesg? -- R.
