I have compiled PCVT into my kernel (as opposed to syscons).  How do I 
get rid of the syscons-related commands in rc.i386 and replace them with 
their PCVT equivalents?  Also, on login, my terminal type is still 
cons25.  How do I make tset correctly determine my terminal type?  Is 
there anything else I should do?  I looked for documentation, but all I 
found was the man page and the PCVT source, and they didn't have much 
relevant information (at least in a form I could understand).  Thank you 
very much for your help!
