I don't see that it would be hard, call the screen memory 128 lines long,
and insted of sticking the start of the screen at the top of memory, it
goes at line 103. In effect we are just preloading the scroll back. Oh,
and this is a coder convenience, you can look back for error messages

After applying the patches 74 and 75 the kernel does not set the math
coprocessor properly. It gives following message.
Checking 386/387 coupling... 387 failed: trying to reset
While 1.3.72 does not give any problem, report normal ! (no info on 73)
Checking 386/387 coupling... Ok, fpu using old IRQ13 error reporting
Is it related to the changes in the interrupt handler code ?
