Wow! There's a lot there, in man rc. I'll play with that. Is there a way to force the startup files to be re-read without completely rebooting the system? That would help while I'm learning.

Re: keyboard history buffer setting
It doesn't work for me when placed in rc.conf, with either a direct command or attempting to use allscreens_flags. I run 5.2.1 myself, but if anything I write is incorrect for 4.10 someone will surely correct me shortly. It looks to me like you've been putting your parameter in the wrong string; as far as I understand, allscreens_flags is sent to vidcontrol, while allscreens_kbdflags goes to kbdcontrol. Putting plain commands into rc.conf is unlikely ever to accomplish much. Peek in /etc/defaults/rc.conf for a lot of interesting stuff which will work, though. If you still need to do shell stuff on startup, slapping together a script and putting it in rc.d is the way to go. The man pages of rc explain the works, and include a template script which you can copy and fill in.

keyboard history buffer setting
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.
