I am in the early stages of trying to get something up and running, and I don't know much yet, but am trying hard to learn from any source I can. So far I have struck out trying to answer this question, looking in The Complete Free BSD, the online handbook, and the FAQ. So: When the system boots (it does boot) I get a gazillion messages streaming by. When I do scroll lock and up-arrow, what do you know, the beginning of the display is gone - apparently fallen out of the buffer. I really would like to know what *all* the boot messages are. 1) Am I right in thinking they are logged somewhere? If so, where? 2) Is there a way to increase the number of lines that can be accessed using the scroll lock technique? What is it?
