If you use fbcon there is a kernel parameter to increase the buffer size. I don't remember the exact command but it's in the docs. I think the default buffer is 32k and can be increased up to 128k or so. The size of your font may impact how many pages of scrollback you get.
[gentoo-user] How can I re-read the error messages during boot?
I rebooted a Gentoo system, and as I watched the boot-up messages, some errors appeared when it's starting the services. However, the screen scrolled too damn fast for me to read them. Where can I find the logs on the services? Or is there a way to slow down booting?

You can press 'I' during boot to go into interactive mode, and then OpenRC will ask you before starting any service. You can also call rc-status to see the status of each service.

Or is there a way to slow down booting? Try pressing Ctrl-S to stop the output. Ctrl-Q to continue. Wonko

Enable logging or you may find it with dmesg grep rc_logger /etc/rc.conf then you can grep errors grep WARNING /var/log/rc.log HTH

Yeah, *just* noticed there's an 'rc_logger' setting in rc.conf, before reading your emails :-P But thanks for the help, anyways!
