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.

	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.
