Just ran across this post about NetBSD:http://www.feyrer.de/NetBSD/bx/blosxom.cgi/nb_20100430_2300.html
Turns out, they have a special boottime option that lets the OS boot (almost) without any messages. Which I found even more appealing that some graphical bootsplash images. Does OpenBSD have anything like that? Google left me with nothing. What if I am running the same stable release of OpenBSD on my box for a month and don't need any verbosity, since I don't change anything (so the system is unlikely to fail)? Also, what can be done for redirecting the dmesg output to a local file? OK, I can get all the dmesg cat'ed at some point of the boot process. But what if my system couldn't actually boot? For that kind of occasion, I need my whole dmesg to be stored at any given point, so I could access it. How do I do that?
