Thanks Polytropon for your reply.
I am seeing this issue with these image as are (by only installing `git` an=
d no other alterations made to the OS whatsoever):
ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/releases/VM-IMAGES/10.2-RELEASE/amd64/Lat=
est/FreeBSD-10.2-RELEASE-amd64.vhd.xz.ftp://ftp.freebsd.org/pub/FreeBSD/rel=
eases/VM-IMAGES/10.1-RELEASE/amd64/Latest/FreeBSD-10.1-RELEASE-amd64.vhd.xz=
.=20
Should those be considered as standard installation?=20
Maybe it is related to keyboard layout as when I press Del key in text edit=
or or command line=2C I get tilde (~) sign instead of getting character at =
cursor deleted (so I use Backspace for deletion which works perfectly fine)=
?
