I've come across the same problem with Linux and their > "linux" terminal-type. What is a "standard" type and what is a "non-standard", and who established, that these types are "standard", but these is "non-standard"? For FreeBSD cons25 is a standard terminal type, and I don't see a reason to change it to something else. If you need it, you can immediately afterfinishing install edit the /etc/ttys file to your favorite terminal type (for me this is pc3r - full and right support for Russian locale, only one bug with 'Del' key) and restart system or ask administrators of other systems to add cons25 in their terminal databases. -- With Best Regards.
