busybox init: very limited line editing functions
busybox does reset terminal settings via set_term() to some defaults that are
not so reasonnable: in effect, it disables erasing characters with backspace.
Instead I get a \ displayed followed by the removed char. For example, when I
type 3 chars then 3 backspace I get something like that displayed: abc\cba
I disabled set_term() in my local copy of busybox because boot-floppies fully
support linux terminal quite well. Btw, TERM=linux is passed by the kernel
itself.
Erik, could only call set_term() when the TERM env variable is not set?
Regards.
