It looks to me as if the responsible script is part of /etc/rc.boot/0kbd. In the version I have, there's a line which source's /etc/kbd/config. If that file exists, then the value for TERM is read from it. My /etc/kbd/config says "TERM=". That is, there is a newline just afte the '='. Alternatively, you can edit the stanza in /etc/rc.boot/kbd which is invoked if /etc/kbd/config does not exist, and set TERM=linux in there. Good luck, Susan Kleinmann
