    I have FreeBSD 5.4 running. When it boots up, it prints some information
    onto the screen, and then prints out the start up menu.

    How do I go about seeing what that information was that was printed out
    prior to the startup menu presentation? I am just sort of curious as to
    what it is displaying.
