 I think there is 4 part for that and each of them requires a different
 configuration file to be edited.

 1) boot
 2) loader
 3) kernel message
 4) init scripts

 Can anyone send me an URL that depicts those changes? Or at least

 You can send the output to a serial port by putting
 
 console=comconsole
 
 into /boot/loader.conf.

f you don't have a serial console, there's another way to do it, one I
stepped into accidentally, and it took me a long while to recover from.
There's a different line you could have put into the /boot/loader.conf
file, one that says boot_mute=YES.  That's going to silence all of the
probing messages completely.  The way it bit me (and you probably ought to
be aware of it) is that it works exactly the same, if you had entered
boot_mute=NO or even boot_mute=Cincinnati, in all cases, the boot
messages are a goner, it's only reading that the word boot_mute is being
set, and what it's being set to really doesn't get into the act.

Took me a really long time to learn that one.  I won't soon forget it.

disabling boot output

Hi,

How can I disable boot messages so user can't see any boot message.
I think there is 4 part for that and each of them requires a different
configuration file to be edited.

1) boot
2) loader
3) kernel message
4) init scripts
