To: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org MIME-Version: 1.0 Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii X-BeenThere: freebsd-questions@freebsd.org X-Mailman-Version: 2.1.14 Precedence: list List-Id: User questions List-Unsubscribe: , List-Archive: List-Post: List-Help: List-Subscribe: , X-List-Received-Date: Tue, 30 Apr 2013 04:12:41 -0000 I have the latest 9.1-RELEASE memstick image burned to a USB drive. I boot from that and connect to my device with a serial console. At some point, the installer asks me what terminal emulation I am using - I choose vt100. But then things go to hell ... I am not complaining that the screen draw is a bit weird, or that a lot of weird characters are used, etc. ... my problem is that I cannot even interact with it properly. The up and down arrows seem to be interpreted as , which makes choosing menu items impossible ... the partition editor is completely unusable since it is getting drawn all over the screen and I can't use the up and down arrow keys ... I thought vt100 would be the safest choice - what am I doing wrong here ?
