>Description:
 On default installation of FreeBSD file /etc/termcap is a symlink to a
/usr/share/misc/termcap. It makes impossible the usage of ncurses- or
termcap-aware utilities in single-user mode without mounted /usr. The main
impact is the impossibility of using /stand/sysinstall without mounted /usr
in single-user mode. Sometimes it is impossible to mount /usr, e.g. in the case
of disk failure, either soft or hard.
>How-To-Repeat:
	Boot in single-user and try running /stand/sysinstall without doing
mount -a.
>Fix:
 Move termcap database to /etc, where it logically belongs, and make symlink
in /usr/share/misc.
