I need a comfortable console at startup in single user mode (one which allows the use of arrow keys, otherwise less/more is hellish). Console cut and paste also doesn't work, even with moused running (I ran rc.i386, after importing variables, thus cd /etc . defaults/rc.conf . rc.conf . rc.i386 which sets the correct keymap and starts moused). Initially I have $TERM = dumb, setting TERM=cons25 (the entry in /etc/ttys) won't do it. Probably I just forgot to run the right daemon or something... Any idea?
