There is already a terminfo entry for at386 on all remotely recent
Solaris boxes, for the Solaris x86 console, which works with
cons25. As a tcsh user, I put this in my .cshrc file on the Solaris
boxes;
if ( $?TERM ) then
if ( "$TERM" == "cons25" ) setenv TERM at386
endif
When I install Solaris machines I do;
cd /usr/share/lib/terminfo/c ; ln -s ../a/at386 cons25
I'm mostly a Solaris admin. Either seems to work fine for me, although
I don't push the FreeBSD console much anymore, and is less effort than
getting the termcap/terminfo entries together :)
Unfortunately there isn't an entry that I know of that works for
colour xterms, but that can be solved as described above. I don't
use them, so don't need it.
