Hi, I’m due to sell my trustworthy late 2013 15” macbook pro. I formatted the ssd & installed big Sur - all went well but when it restarted a huge list what seems to be install text came up. This went on for a while finally booting with the apple logo then the usual startup screen.
Every-time it restarted it happens again but much less text. Is there anyway to stop this? I have photos if needed.
MacBook Pro 15″, macOS 13.4
Turn off "verbose mode" but the easiest way to do that is to reset NVRAM: Mac startup key combinations - Apple Support.

You're welcome jonthan. Although you did not ask, be sure to follow Apple's instructions for selling a Mac, here: What to do before you sell, give away, or trade in your Mac - Apple Support. That will ensure a straightforward experience for both you and its new owner.
Great thanks John, didn’t know I’d enabled it :)
