[gentoo-user] Pausing kernel startup ?

Is it somehow possible to pause the kernel's startup text output ?. The text
is so fast so there is no way of reading it.

'Shift-PageUp' & 'Shift-PageDown' allow you to scroll thro' the text.
You can increase the size of the buffer among the kernel config choices.

if you have "Kernel panic - not syncing: VFS: Unable to mount root fs on
unknown-block(3,3)" you can try rootdelay=120 kernel parameter, and use
shift+pageup|pagedown.

Try ctrl-s to stop the scrolling, ctrl-q to restart it. They will only work 
after a certain point has been passed, though. Maybe when init is running?

I usually hit the "scroll lock" key and it works every time for me.  Hit
it again and it continues on.
