I'm not sure if the problem I had with the console is the only that exists.
If so, I solved it just copying terminal definition from Solaris. Works

If there is no copyright problem in this, why don't just incorporate these 
changes into the FreeBSD source tree? I can send the definition I use
if this makes sense.

Kind regards,
