I believe the Solaris AT386 (or is it 386AT ?) terminal type is pretty
much the same thing as cons25 --- both are variants on the SCO color
console. Worked pretty well the last time I tried it. confirmation
of the correct terminal type under Solaris is easily found by grep'ing
for SCO in the Solaris /etc/termcap.

Don't you also have to modify the kernel configuration to support
vt220 compatibility --- this stuff in GENERIC as documented in
pcvt(4)?
# syscons is the default console driver, resembling an SCO console
device sc0 at isa? flags 0x100
# Enable this and PCVT_FREEBSD for pcvt vt220 compatible console driver
#device vt0 at isa?
#options XSERVER # support for X server on a vt console
#options FAT_CURSOR # start with block cursor
# If you have a ThinkPAD, uncomment this along with the rest of the PCVT lines
#options PCVT_SCANSET=2 # IBM keyboards are non-std
although a man page that talks about FreeBSD 1.0-GAMMA probably
indicates that the whole thing is a bit stale...
Cheers,
Matthew
