>Description:
When I boot from the CDROM I get as far as choosing a terminal type to run sysinstall with.  All the terminals suffer the following

Garbled out put:  Lots of peculiar characters which aren't present in the manual screenshots
Arrow Keys not working: I can't move up and down the menus.
Screen Refresh (xterm).  When I select a particular menu option, the menu overlays the old one without deleting it.  Everything gets confused and unreadable.

I've seen this mentioned elsewhere at bsdforums.org but no fix is suggested.
