The pcvt console driver (vt0) is designed to emulate a DEC VT series
tty as best as possible.  Thus it's perhaps preferable for people who
are frequently logging into other machines across the net.

The default syscons (sc0) driver features the SCO console, thus it
requires a tweaked termcap entry that might not be available on every
other machine in the world.
