For some reason is vt100 or console and vt220 for the others. This causes the home/end/pgup/pgdown keys not to work correctly.Setting a term of wsvt25 in /etc/ttys fixes this! Thankfully I have no idea why that isn’t the default as it drove me potty :(
So, after finally going into a NetBSD irc channel with the express purpose of removing all compiler warnings from dhcpcd and making it add routes correctly on that platform, I got convinced into giving NetBSD a spin.
So I wanged it on my amd64 and as promised, the default cd worked fine with my trusty RT2500 pci wireless card, and the installed default kernel did too. This was an improvement from NetBSD 3.
Simplicity :)
I strongly dislike autotools after dealing with it for a few years now. I shan’t go into the reasons why here though. But suffice to say that the whole build system required autotools. dhcpcd-3 supported BSD based systems, so it was only fair that we strive to support their base install. This means no autotools. So I set about discovering what I could do that worked on pmake and gmake.
