*BSD guest Key Mapping issue?

Post by dkissell »

I feel slightly rediculous having to post with a question like this..

Host: OSX (running on Macbook Pro 5,4)
Guest: *BSD

I cant for the life of me figure out how to use Scroll Lock on the guest. It hasn't been a real issue untill now i.e. "| more" but it is starting to get irritating as reading a dmesg impossible. Any ideas? This is my first MacBook, I have searched long and hard, my google-fu and man skills are strong, but not strong enough. Someone must know. Help?

Have you tried shift + pg-up and pg-dn?

Thank you PerryG, the winning combo was (Fn+Shift)+Up/Down arrows.

Though it seems ridiculous I couldn't figure that out, I really appreciate the help.
