Description

dmesg(1) on OpenBSD (and I imagine on most other operating systems) shows
the boot console messages, including
a list of the (probed) hardware, CPU clock speed etc.

But on leaf.dragonflybsd.org the dmesg(1) output is not the same. It seems
to be inconsistent and seems to
be a garbled version of /var/log/messages.

I think this is wrong. DragonFlyBSD dmesg(1) should output the same as other
operating systems, in
particular the probed hardware list which you get on the console when the
computer boots.

Hi Robin,

Try /var/run/dmesg.boot;
this is what you would like;
dmesg(1) output is in memory tail of buffer.

man page: dmesg.1
(http://leaf.dragonflybsd.org/cgi/web-man?command=dmesg&section=ANY):
..
The dmesg utility displays the contents of the system message buffer.
