This sounds suspiciously like you forgot to install etc.tgz.  Also, once
you get those installed, if you like to login as root, tweak the shell
startup scripts to use vt100, this seems like a better setting than vt220
(but if you switch while logged in, you've got to clear the screen ^L or
clear will work).
