           Summary: Unknown oid 'hw.snd.default_unit' message at startup
                    and shutdown
           Product: Base System
           Version: CURRENT
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any

Hi,

on VMs without any sound device /etc/rc.d/virtual_oss triggers sysctl(8) to
output the error message "unknown oid 'hw.snd.default_unit'" on the console
at system startup or shutdown.

The rc.conf variable virtual_oss_enable has its default value of "NO" from
/etc/defaults/rc.conf.

Without much changing of virtual_oss script a simple solution would be to
redirect stderr to /dev/null while executing sysctl(8).

Regards

  Ralf
