 This depends. We unfortunately have different default keymaps
 for PS/2 keyboards (where backspace = DEL) and USB keyboards
 (where backspace = BS).
 
 The wscons terminals usually use TERM=wsvt25 which declares
 that the backspace key uses BS. So tset will configure erase=^H.
 
 So, either change the PS/2 default or adapt the wscons keymap as
 you describe (you can put something like this into wscons.conf).
