I do indeed desire this capability in order to save a dmesg from a

system booted from bsd.rd.  I would prefer not to use a usb flash

drive because of concerns about BadUSB attacks.

I can't save the file on the CD which I booted from, hence my desire

to use ethernet.  However, after some thought, I realized that I could

use dd to save the file to an un-allocated portion of the hard drive,

and then read it back after booting a different OS.  So I've got the

dmesg, which I'll include a post to come soon, about my inability to

get the installed system to boot.
