from boot to gdm without seeing console.

Hi,

I was wondering if it is possible to boot the pc (freebsd) without ever seeing a console screen.
I'm trying to configure freebsd for as much user experience as possible, but I' m new to freebsd so i need help.

I have configured a splash screen witch works perfect.
But right before gdm starts i get a console screen with the login message for like 2 seconds.

Is it possible configure this behaviour away?
 
I hope that it can be done changing ttyv0 off in /etc/ttys:

Code: 
ttyv0   "/usr/libexec/getty Pc"         cons25  off  secure

You can still access the other seven default virtual terminals thru ALT+CTRL+2, etc.
 
i tried your suggestion without success to login message was gone but i still see the lines with the modules that are loaded i don't think these are written to a specific tty

Is there something else i can try?
 
I cannot try it now, but boot(8) talks about -m option to suppress all input and output to console. Try to pass this option to loader on boot or set it in /boot.config. Just put there:
Code: 
-m
 
with both the tty disabled
and executing next line

echo "-m -q" > /boot.config

the console i blank but you can still see the splash screen switching to console and then to gdm.

I think we should not try to hide everything in the console but rather
prevent the splash from switching to console?

Is this possible?
