Hi.

I noticed that, while working at the console, I am not able to use the
cursor-keys.  I run NetBSD 1.2 on a SPARCstation 1 with a Type 4 keyboard.
Is this normal behaviour?  (it's not, in my opinion).  I know a Sun 386i
running SunOS 4.0.2 printed out a lot of garbage (the escape sequence) when
I pressed one of these keys, and I was surprised to find out it didn't work
with my SS1.
