Description David Demelier 2013-09-16 09:50:00 UTC 
Someone added a blue caption "Booting..." to the boot loader just before the
kernel starts if the user did add loader_color="YES" in its loader.conf.

This small caption is ugly and does not make sense at all, the boot loader
outputs text white on black, the kernel does the same and this caption is
blue...

I would also remove this caption totally IMHO

How-To-Repeat: Boot FreeBSD >= 9.2

While it may be ugly, the message itself serves a purpose.
Color highlights that we're doing something, so we're not going to fix this. FORTH is going away at some point, and we're not doing feature requests like this.
