FreeBSD 4.4-RC2
>Description:
	trying to select a terminal type beyond "cons25-m" in the options
	menu causes an immediate "panic: Going nowhere without my init!"

>How-To-Repeat:
	boot from the install floppies, go to options menu and press space
	twice at the "Terminal"-option

>Fix:
	i guess the problem is type "xterm" in "RunningAsInit"-mode
	if so, this could be a possible fix (untested):
