This is my fault, sorry! I am the one who made the change, and I am the one
who promptly forgot to fix it when Dave gently reminded me of the fact
below. You are more than welcome to change it back.

Subject: Default arm32 console type
arm32 has two different terminal types
vt100: cats, riscpc, rc7500, a7000
pc3: shark
ebsa285 does not appear have a console driver.
1.4 used vt100, but about 9 months ago it was switched to pc3.
This is going to screw up a lot of acorn and chalice users who
try to upgrade - unless anyone screams I intend to change this
back.
The correct fix is for everyone to use wscons, and for the
recently discussed arm32 ports split.
In general I would expect there to be fewer shark arm32 users
than others, and I would also expect them to be more literate
and better able to handle the breakage.
