Public bug reported:

When using the 'rescue a broken system' option and you are dropped into
a shell, it seems to use bterm.

Vi and Nano both have display issues with a TERM of bterm.  The screens
are often not redrawn properly etc.

It's tough enough verifying UUID's as it is without the terminal leaving
junk on the screen. :-)

I tried both defining the TERM as linux, ansi, vt100 and vt320,  as well
as telling vi thru the -T  switch to try those without success.

I'm not sure of a solution - do we need a termcap entry?  or?

This looks related but different than bug 35400 -

I'm using Hardy - but have seen similar complaints dating back to Hoary
thru Google
