simulate 'scroll lock' key

Post by Joseph5432 »

When running a FreeBSD guest on a Mac OS X, I need to simulate a 'scroll lock' for the page up/page down keys to work in the console. Using the small bluetooth keyboard on an iMac, is there a way to simulate the 'scroll lock' key?

Not sure about a scroll lock but a *NIX console uses the shift+pgup and shift+pgdwn to scroll the buffer since the console doesn't use X. Now a terminal that is another thing.
