>Description:
The proper termcap entry for the wscons on the i386 (and some
other ports) is wsvt25 (or wsvt25m). However, it appears that
all our /etc/ttys files say vt220 instead. This means
capabilities such as color and such are not available on the
console.
>How-To-Repeat:
Examine /etc/ttys
>Fix:
It isn't clear if we should or shouldn't change this, but we
probably should. The fix would be to (trivially) change the
default ttys files.
