Back from a FreeBSD 'job' at a customers site (where I installed
FreeBSD on 5 Dec PC LPV+ 466) I want to report that
PCVT as it comes with the 2.0.5 CD breaks with a PS/2 mouse installed.
I'm not quite sure if the PS/2 mouse is the culprit but it looks like.

A kernel configured with the PCVT options as advised in the LINT
kernel boots fine (reversed characters during the autoconfigure phase)
but then locks up when the multiuser login prompt has appeared.

The cursor is not in the last line (about in the fifth but last)
and the keyboard is locked. I had to switch back to syscons
which was handling the customers requirements wrt/ umlauts
and keyboard mapping satisfyingly.

This for the pcvt maintainer's information.
