I tried following things but it didn't happen. 1. I tried to modify /etc/rc file where I changed SystemStarter-g to SystemStarter -v. 3.boot args is already set to "-v" I think, this is not the right mailing list to ask this, but what i want to do is i want to print the kprintf() messages which are dumped to /var/log/system.log Inputs will help us a lot.

I uncommented the line in /etc/ttys line #console "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" vt100 on secure and commented the console "/System/Library/CoreServices/loginwindow.app/Contents/MacOS/ loginwindow" Hhmmm. I had thought that your change (2) would have done it. Well, we live and learn. However, if you just want to be logged in on the console, rather than actually having to be text-mode all through startup, then you can log out of Finder and then log in as ">console" (without the quotes, but with the ">") Of course, you can see the startup console messages by booting with command-V or boot into single-user with command-S.
