Hmmmm, reading /etc/rc, and seeing the line VerboseFlag="" and then the case statement lines near-below including VerboseFlag="-v" has me wondering: If the 1st entry were VerboseFlag="-v" would that force a verbose startup? I'd like to have that, without having to press cmd-v every time to get it. I figure it's safer to ask if anyone knows, before I start experimenting.
