Well,
I use the standard configurationa dn did not change anything. I did not see any
.profile file by the way.
I already get the error message at the first login on the main console (ttyv0)
right after the login banner "welcome to PicoBSD".
The error message seems to says that it cannot find or read the termcap database
: it seems to know which terminal to try to open.
It says "No entry for terminal type "cons25" ; using dumb terminal settings".
I tried to do a "TERM=vt100 ; export TERM", which successfully changes my TERM
variable, but I still get "Error opening terminal : vt100" from ee.

Objet : Re: "can't find termcap entry for cons25" on 4.5R's picobsd
it works fine for me... you have done an "export TERM" in
your .profile or from the command line, haven't you ?
cheers
