Hmmm...how do you get it to default to 50 line mode? I thought it came up
with 25 lines by default (so I've got this loop in my /etc/rc.local that
goes thru my vt's setting them to 50 - there's gotta be an easier way -
maybe the getty initialization process would send some magic strings from
the termcap that would take care of it for me?). I'm fairly new to FreeBSD
and have 2.0.5R installed.
