boot log
Hello everyone, I'm pretty sure I so that in another thread but I can't remember and I can't find it in the archive. I don't search the right words probably I just would like to know how can I read the exact text that is displaying very fast at the FreeBSD boot. All the kernel things and everything that starts up at this time ? Because I saw my firewall has a problem when the system boot up but I can't read it's too quick. Thanks.
