This is normal (and has been normal since as long as I can remember):
those messages are being output by the rc(8) subsystem and being echo'd
to /dev/console.

If you want to see these messages, use the -a flag with dmesg(8).


P.S. -- When starting a new topic/thread about something, please do not
reply to an existing thread and change the subject -- this is
insufficient, and is sometimes called "thread hijacking".  Some (many,
and often UNIX) mail clients use a header called In-Reply-To to
"cross-reference" mails to one another regardless of Subject.  Proof of
you doing this:

 173 N   05/14 20:22  Steven Hartland     (3.6K)      |   `->

And your mail client had this in it:

So in the future actually make a new mail (new thread).
