Can you set up MacOS X to reveal what's going on during bootup?
Under Linux, you get a stream of information about which service is starting
up and whether there's errors and it can be very helpful. Since MacOS is BSD
under the hood, I'd really like to see what's going on rather than have that
grey screen with the darker grey apple and the circle going round and round
and round. MacOS 9 and below was actually a little bit more helpful about
where you were in the bootup process...the parade of extensions, etc, served
as a way of knowing what was going on.
Can you set up MacOS X to do this?
Michelle,
I would expect you can set it to boot up like that, but I don't know how to do it. To do it manually, hold down cmd-V during bootup. It will look a lot like your Linux box's startup sequence, as you might expect. :)
