Isn't that for bash's command history? I'm pretty sure it is. What |

you want, Roman, is a kernel parameter: |

[ ] Enable Scrollback Buffer in System RAM |

(64) Scrollback Buffer Size (in KB) (NEW) |
| 20 |
As the help says, "Each 64KB will give you approximately 16 80x25 |
| 21 |
screenfuls of scrollback buffer." This is the buffer accessed by |

pressing Shift+PgUp at the console. |
