Check to see if DEL or CTRL+H do the backspace action in the
password/login prompt? Overall, I think this plagued Solaris
like forever and apparently either nobody cared enough, or
not much can be done (perhaps no terminal-type context is
available before login?)

BTW, IIRC, terminal type might be settable via "eeprom" command.

I'd be interested to see proper solutions. :)
