In fact, you can probably get away with assuming VT102.
Thanks for all the messages I received. I will try to add code to init.c that will assume TERM=vt102 by default when booting on serial console. It could be overriden by passing TERM=xxx at boot time. However, I don't have time to write it immediatly. Just wait few more days... will go in before next monday. Btw, there are no vt100/vt102 terminfos in boot-floppies but it does apparently not hurt dbootstrap. Do I need to add them to the terminfo database excerpt the boot-floppies have in?
