Eternal complainer's society.
>Environment:
shark install kernel:
NetBSD 1.6 (INSTALL) #0: Mon Sep  9 07:10:16 UTC 2002
    autobuild@tgm.daemon.org:/autobuild/shark/OBJ/autobuild/src/sys/arch/shark/compile/INSTALL

booted over network, serial console.
>Description:
shark install kernel assumes TERM=pc3.  OK if console is on the
frame buffer, but not so good if console is elsewhere.

the result, at least for me (with white-on-black) xterm talking
talking (thru telnet / terminal server) to serial console port is
black on dark blue text.  Plus sysinst doesn't actually display or
work properly due to escape sequence differences.  "ugh."
>How-To-Repeat:
boot 1.6 shark install kernel on headless shark (using serial console).

may also effect other platforms.
>Fix:
unknown.

figure out the console type, and make a better guess at the
terminal type based on that?  Or, if a serial console, ask?
