Solved See dmesg as it updates

[refeed]

Hi, is there a way to see `dmesg` in FreeBSD as it updates? like `dmesg -w` in Linux

I believe you could achieve this with the command tail -f /var/run/dmesg.boot

Use tail -fn300 /var/log/messages.

/var/run/dmesg.boot contains only the snapshot of the system messages taken shortly after starting up has been finished, see dmesg(8). Anyway, once syslogd(8) has been started, important logging may be placed into log files other than /var/log/messages instead.

Thanks for the correction.
