Thanks to all who responded to my simple (as it turned out) question about
how to tell a Solaris box that its console terminal is not a Sun. This is
not in the FAQ yet, but as Casper was one of those who pointed me in the
right direction, I trust it'll get in there now ;-)
The answer is to edit the co: line in /etc/inittab and change the -T sun
option to -T your_terminal_type and then run init q to tell init to
re-read inittab. Then logout and login again and voila, you're there !
