 Not sure what your asking because Konsole (a KDE terminal emulator) and 
 GRUB (a boot loader) have little in common.
 
 For Konsole, everything you need to change the size is under the 
 Settings menu, specifically font and size. To get it to stick, use 
 save as default. Preset colors schemes can be set via schema and can 
 be customized via configure konsole
 
 I've never run into a GRUB option that allows you to change it's size. 
 You'll still edit menu.lst, but it's located wherever you installed GRUB.
 
 HTH,

I haven't done this for a while, but here's what I have on my system:

In your kernel configuration:

options VESA

In rc.conf :

font8x8=/usr/share/syscons/fonts/iso02-8x8.fnt
allscreens_flags=132x43

Re: konsole font size and colour ?

2006-01-17 Thread Mehmet Fatih AKBULUT
hi again,
the question was about boot screen font size and colour.
to be more clear, i copied the line from debian's grub.conf[/boot/grub/menu.lst]

kernel  /boot/vmlinuz-2.6.14-2-686 root=/dev/hda1 ro vga=792
vga=792 changes the font size seen at boot screen.
[this part not included in default installation. i added this later when i
learnt.]
so all i want to learn : how can i do the same for freebsd ?
firstly  where to add this vga=792 ? [no /boot/grub/menu.lst in freebsd!]

secondly  does this will do the same for freebsd too ? or i have to add
something else ?
bye.

You're not talking about grub OR konsole. You're talking about changing 
the resolution of the system console. I can't help you much, because I 
spend most of my time in a GUI's terminal emulator, not at the system 
console. It has been discussed on the list several times in the past few 
months.  Google turns up a few hits with freebsd console resolution 
which would point you to man vidcontrol.
