Hello all...

	I have noticed that the 386BSD console entry has changes from the stock
	386BSD 0.1 to NetBSD 0.8.  I mainly noticed because my cursor keys did
	not work in Elvis when using the console along with the PC3 termcap
	entry... They work in an Xterm, and they work on the VT100 hooked up
	to the serial port..

	My question to the NetBSD people, and any other termcap gurus is why?
	I seem to recall things working perfectly fine under 386BSD with its'
	termcap entry...

					Any clues appreciated....
							Rafal
