I'm running AMD64.

Arrow keys don't work correctly.  For example, if I do "make config"
in a port then using the down arrow immediately exits the menu rather
than moving the cursor.  The same thing happens with sade.

Note that I set one entry in /etc/ttys to xterm rather than using the
vidcontrol trick.

With cons25 it works correctly.

I merely installed and booted a new kernel.  Not sure whether I also
need a new termcap.
