As stuart said, pccon is the best fit. For a more elaborate answer: choosing a default TERM value for the console is complicated. The main issue being that a lot of the time, you will ssh into another machine that probably doesn't run the same operating system, and thus doesn't necessarily have the same termcap database. So, the default choice in OpenBSD is to have a default value that's very safe (vt220 have been around forever) so that you can login about anywhere. ... whereas pccon is way more recent and specific, and thus will probably hose you when you try to login on some old machines. (these days, new OS versions will all use the same termcap source, so you're probably safe on anything released over the past 5 years)
