Display type: cgthree
This isn't really a bug report, since I have not noticed any ill
effects related to the error messages I'm reporting. However, if this
is a common problem, omeone may wish to know about it; and if it's
specific to my machine, I'd like to fix it.
What's wrong:
When booting, the machine prints out a varying number of
messages about being "Unable to install/attach driver".
(This has been occurring since I took the 8.0A update.)
For example, after I rebooted today, a part of the log
recorded in /usr/adm/messages contained:
cgthree0: resolution 1152 x 900
cpu 0 initialization complete - online

I tried rebooting again with "boot -r" in hopes that, if the
problem was related to a device which had somehow lost its
driver, a re-configuration of the device tree might help.
However, this time I got a longer list, which got partially
mangled by syslogd:

Thanks for looking at this. [Assuming someone does, that is. =)]
