 Hi,
 
 I just migrated to grub2 which works fine thanks to the good 
 Gentoo docs! :)
 
 But...
 
 I need to increase the resolution of the boot screen to
 see what is going on there.
 The docs say, that with the command vbeinfo from the grub
 console I can see the valid modes of my grpahics card.
 Now...the current resolution of the grub console compbined
 with the unfortunate sorting of the output of vbeinfo I am
 currently only able to read the last entries of this realy
 long list.
 Therefore...I need the whole output of vbeinfo to set the
 console resulotion that way, so I will be able to read the
 output of vbeinfo
 
 deadlock?
 
 Nice things like 'less' or such are not available
 
 What can I do?


Try this:
set pager=1
