Apparently there are places that log via dmesg instead of via syslog. The primary intention here is to have the messages that are in the dmesg output have timestamps.
And I have had crashes/panics where the syslog information just didn't get out in time (but I might be mistaken on this one). H To Unsubscribe: send mail to majord...@freebsd.org with "unsubscribe freebsd-hackers" in the body of the message
