Re: Console 50-lines at bootup?

What Dan meant to say is add this line to your rc.conf file and reboot allscreens_flags=-m on 80x50 green black -Original Message- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Dan Nelson Sent: Tuesday, July 27, 2004 6:42 PM To: Jay O'Brien Cc: FreeBSD - questions Subject: Re: Console 50-lines at bootup?

Re: Console 50-lines at bootup?
Dan, Erik, JJB... Thank you all, that worked. And once I saw the whole screen with green on black, (ugh!) I went back to white on black. But now at least I know how to do it! Now to find the syntax for allscreens_flags and learn about that argument. I may want to set different virtual terminals to different settings.
