Hello,

how can I get a cosole with more than 25 lines?

I tried this in my kernel configuration ...

|# modify the screen type of the console; defaults to "80x25"
|options         VGA_CONSOLE_SCREENTYPE="\"80x40\""

but I don't notice any effect. In Linux the solution was to switch the
VGA text mode which can be done by adding the line
vga=788
to /etc/lilo.conf, which only works when having configured the kernel
for the VESA VGA screenbuffer device.

I've NetBSD 1.6, a binary package collection for i386 (6 CDROMs, I
guess the official ones), downloaded and compiled the kernel sources.
How shall I proceed?

Regards
  Thomas

PS.: I don't want to offend anybody when using the Linux terms like
lilo, but they may help some (not all) readers to understand me rather
than if I - as a total NetBSD newbie - would try to use NetBSD terms.
