Console.app viewing my favorite portion of a verbose boot of MacOS X.  (Console.app is seriously improved in 10.6.)
An explanation of DSMOS from Amit Singh’s Mac OS X Internals : Understanding Apple’s Binary Protection in Mac OS X (article link):
“Amusingly, the “dsmos” prefix in Figure 5 stands for “Don’t Steal Mac OS X”. In fact, the Don’t Steal Mac OS X.kext kernel extension plays a critical role in the working of the apple-protect pager. The dsmos_page_transform() function, which takes as arguments a source (encrypted) page and a destination (decrypted) page, simply calls the function pointed to by the dsmos_hook function pointer. The “dsmos” kernel extension sets this function pointer to point to page_transform(), a function implemented within the kernel extension. page_transform() performs the actual AES decryption.”
