The machine is an ARM Elan 520 SBC with the console on com2, selected bu jumper. I can boot General Software Embedded DOS on this machine. At the command prompt, it behaves as I would expect, backspace erases the previous character, del deletes the line. I can boot FreeBSD 9.0 (nanoBSD) on the machine. Backspace and delete act properly, the same as GDOS. I was looking for a 32-bit platform with little or no overhead, so I tried FreeDOS, again.

[Freedos-user] Backspace
I use either minicom or gtkterm to communicate with FreeDOS. Everything seems to work Ok, except I cannot use backspace or delete. Both keys do strange things. For example, when using gtkterm, backspace sends the cursor to the top left, without erasing. Any ideas?

When building the kernel module, an executable, b43-fwcutter is used to extract a binary portion of the driver provided by the manufacturer. This is used as an interface between the FreeBSD kernel and the BCM4318 chip. The command line is like: b43-fwcutter xxx.sys FreeBSD uses the bwn driver as the interface between the TCP stack and the chip. The bwn driver is a wrapper around the code extracted from the windows(?) driver.

Now, I can boot all three from the FreeBSD boot manager, which is limited because it reads the partition information and tries to guess how to boot the OS.
