On Alpha, gentoo-sources has a patch that allows prevention of unaligned accesses in dhcpcd spamming the console. This would be very neat during install (people probably don't care about UACs during install). 

sysctl -w uac.noprint=1

in during bootup should do the trick.

OK, I fixed this by updating the fsscript which gets run in SVN...

We'll close it once the final 2008.0 is out.

With the current kernel, the sysctl has been renamed:

livecd root # grep uac /etc/sysctl.conf 
uac.noprint = 1
livecd root # sysctl -a |grep noprint
kernel.uac.noprint = 0
livecd root #

Thus, I fixed this in livecd.sh (svn).
