It may be set on or off at any time after using the debug.bootverbose sysctl. It's only relationships with booting are: - it is bogusly named "bootverbose" - it can be set at boot time by booting with -v - more messages are normally printed at boot time than later, so there is more for the flag to affect at boot time.
