It's true for all images install images, yes. (and that's for i386, amd64. Most other platforms don't have any kind of scrollback at all). I would guess bsd.rd would have space, if the scrollback were to be separated out. Without looking (i.e., I'm about to make a fool of myself), I think it is part of the "option SMALL_KERNEL", so to put it in bsd.rd (=cd ramdisk) would require breaking out the code...not sure how that would go over. um. I am so out-of-line commenting to Marc Espie about code... *sigh* Nick.
