FreeBSD rlx5 4.6-STABLE FreeBSD 4.6-STABLE #1: Sat Aug 24 01:26:53 PDT 2002     aditya@six:/usr/obj/usr/src/sys/RLX  i386     
>Description:
when doing a non-interactive PXE install onto a machine with just a serial console (using set console=comconsole in loader.rc) sysinstall prompts for the terminal type -- if non-interactive, it should use a default terminal type
>How-To-Repeat:
do a non-interactive PXE install as per Alfred Perlstein's PXE install instructions onto a machine with no video card
>Fix:
under 4-STABLE, /usr/src/release/sysinstall/termcap.c the prompt_term function should check if the install is non-interactive and RunningAsInit is true and in that case just use the default ANSI compatible term type -- it should be pretty simple, but I am not able to understand the way variable_get(VAR_NONINTERACTIVE) works to put in the test myself.
