You are crazy ;-)

No, really, it's because you didn't RTFM ;-)  This is described in
/usr/src/linux/Documentation/VGA-softcursor.txt.

This is probably a little bit offtopic, but you can do some really
cool stuff with ANSI escape sequences and colored console prompts,
like 

    YELLOW="\[\]"
    NORMAL="\[\]"
    PS1="${YELLOW}\h:\w$ ${NORMAL}"

which is what I use for my prompt.  Works great on black consoles,
makes it so much easier to spot your prompt when scrolling.

And as root I use

    RED="\[\]"
    NORMAL="\[\]"
    export    PS1="${RED}\h:\w$ ${NORMAL}"

which automatically warns me of lurking danger :-)
