three questions

[Alexander Bubnov]

Hi!
Could you answer my questions, please?
 
1) When I halt or reboot FreeBSD 5.3 I always receive following:
    Syncing disks vnodes remaining... 4 3 3 1 1 0 done
 
Is it OK? What does it mean?
 
2) When I download something from the Internet for a long time (around 9 
hours) I always receive 3 strange letters (unfortunately, I deleted 
third letter, sorry) from my OS (FreeBSD any versions), see below. What 
for? What happen? Why do I receive them?
 
3) I change resolution for consoles as vidcontrol -g 100x37 VESA_800x600 
green. Can I change rate? How to do it?
