Hi. I just upgraded to FreeBSD 2.0R (from 1.1.0) and have run into
two strangnesses.

First, using "more", it kill the most recent line (either the command
line or the last line from the previous screen) whenever it prints
out a new page.

Second, using syscons (built into the kernel, no other utils)
the NumLock is always been set on reboot on each virtual terminal.
I have it set OFF in the bios.

I runn my syscons terminals as "ansi" or "vt100". Both problems
also appear in "cons25" (along with others), so...

Neither of these things are major issues, but occasionally annoying.

Any ideas would be appreciated.

Thanx.
