hi guys,

how is it possible to get the boot output when booting from install 
floppies? the output of the boot kernel goes just too fast and i need to 
see what it is reporting...

i looked around the mfs that it creates, but no /var/log/messages can be 
found. dmesg is also not present. what can i do to get the information? 
i was trying to search mailing lists but i obviously use wrong keywords...

btw, i recall using scroll lock key for such purpose in freebsd few 
years ago (i may be mistaken). is there any plan to have such 
possibility in netbsd, i.e. just to scroll the output to find desired 
information?

thanks for your help,
lubos
