>Description:
Someone added a blue caption "Booting..." to the boot loader just before the
kernel starts if the user did add loader_color="YES" in its loader.conf.

This small caption is ugly and does not make sense at all, the boot loader
outputs text white on black, the kernel does the same and this caption is
blue...

I would also remove this caption totally IMHO
>How-To-Repeat:
Boot FreeBSD >= 9.2
