	Hmmm... try vt220 or vt100. These are pretty standard. I remember
the first time that I installed NetBSD on my old Mac IIci, I had a bad
/.profile file... the one used for booting into single user, and the one
that seems to have become linked to /root/.profile. So, it would not
accept any terminal I entered... vt100, vt220, vt102, ansi, xterm, various
wyse's, etc. I even searched the termcap entries using the installer
program ;-) I think Scott Reynolds suggested that I delete the /.profile
file... and that solved my problem. 8-)
