If I boot into single-user, It gives ""cannot read termcap database using > dumb terminal settings". I have checked /usr/share/misc and ran "# cap_mkdb > termcap". Resulting .db file is same size as before. Any chance the /usr/share, or even /usr, are on separate filesystems? On systems with a separate /usr, UFS or ZFS, I usually create the /usr/share/misc hierarchy on the root fs, and and place additional copies of the termcap* files there. This makes both the Bourne shell and the Bourne-again shell happy. As an aid to update these extra copies, I mount the root fs as NFS on localhost while in multi-user mode. > 2.
