The VERBOSE parameter no longer has an effect, use the kernel's loglevel= parameter instead. Most p

I don't like this change. While you say there's a way to make it less verbose, after only merging the changes to rc.conf, dmesg output will get interleaved with initscripts output during boot, which looks horrible: http://imgur.com/a/wbG9z

No signoff. :>

i'm with you in this. kernel logs are in the middle of starting daemons. hate it

I agree that the kernel default is annoying, but it _is_ the upstream default, and there is a known workaround (boot with "quiet"), so I don't want to keep hacking around this in initscripts. Luckily, my stubbornness prompted Dave to do the right thing, and submit a kernel patch to allow the default to be set to something sensible at compile-time: https://lkml.org/lkml/2011/7/26/227. Hopefully this means that the problem will be solved upstream soon. Cheers, Tom
