I can run kbdcontrol -h 500 or vidcontrol -h 500 to set the 
scroll back keyboard history buffer to 500 lines for the 
virtual terminal I'm using. How can I make that happen at 
boot, in the same manner as I run allscreens_flags in 
rc.conf to set other terminal parameters?  I don't need 
this to set all of the virtual terminals; it would be 
nice if each terminal could be set separately.

It doesn't work for me when placed in rc.conf, with either 
a direct command or attempting to use allscreens_flags.

I'm using 4.10.
