Looking decent here. Noticed a few things:

* new dmesg messages, not sure if they are of concern or not:

* When /etc/rc.d/microcode/ ran in my daemons, it spit out a
"/etc/rc.d/microcode: /dev/cpu/microcode not a character device"
message. Interestingly enough it still looks like it ran the microcode
update as there were messages in dmesg. However, if I run it now it is
just fine (and that device does exist). Race condition somewhere?
