TERM defaults to linux even on serial console (where vt102 would be more appropriate)



Hello Erik,

  could you add some glue to busybox' init to set up TERM to vt102 instead of
linux when booting on serial console?
Dialog boxes could be better drawn with such term settings (using - and |
characters).
I know I can pass TERM=vt102 at boot time in kernel command line but it would
be nice if it could be automagically assigned by init itself.  Sparc bootdisks
worked like that in slink, at least.

Thanks in advance.

PS: I can send you a patch if you want to implement it.
