Can't comment on this, as my NetBSD machines are used via serial console
or they run X all the time. In addition I got used to CTRL-A / CTRL-E
etc. for Home, End, etc. a long time ago...

Changeing the default console $TERM to "wsvt25m" is a bad idea. Most
likely no other Unix will know about that $TERM type. So when you ssh to
an other machine from a NetBSD console even less will work. (IIRC This
is a common problem on Linux, as it likes to use $TERM type "linux" on
its console...)
