You can catch these errors into a logfile - see option rc_logger in rc.conf. As per a comment there, it won't log the sysinit runlevel, but that's just a few services and you can see that level start up on the screen before X takes over. By the way, no problems here with rc_parallel either. And the speed is cool. -rz
