I want to know how the termcap and terminfo get invoked? Is it during boot time or after enter multiuser mode? What I mean boot time is when the system start loading the unix kernel. The reason I ask these because the machine I am working with, ( The system is made by Sequent, 386 base, run 4.2BSD ) if the console is connected to teletype terminal , the output screwup meaning jam all together during boot time. Some body said is the escape sequence in the termcap not correctly defined and others said is the hardware. I need a definitive answer to this. Anyone can give me this info is greatly appreciated.
