This is on a stage3 install with only the packages merged that are required to boot up to a console. At the login screen, if I try and type the "#" character , it deletes one character, and if I type the "@" it deletes the whole line. I can not login to the agetty console if i have either "#" or "@" as a character in my password. If i emerge mingetty, and use mingetty for my console temrs instead of agetty, I am able to use the "#" and "@" characters as expected. Upon further investigation I found this: If I do not try and type the "#" or the "@" character in the username fieild, I am able to use my password which has one or both of the characters in it. So if I try and type "#" or "@" in the user field before trying to login, then I can not use either characters in the password field. Conversely, if I do not type either of those characters in the user field, then I can use either in the password field. Again, mingetty exhibits none of these behaviors. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce: 1. Install a p4 stage3 system 2. Install logger,cron,bootloader,kernel 3. Boot to console Actual Results: 1)At the login screen, if I try and type the "#" character , it deletes one character, and if I type the "@" it deletes the whole line. 2)At the user field, When i try and type "#" or "@" in the user field of the console login (agetty), I can not use those characters subsequently in the password field. 3) At the user field, If I do not try and type "#" or "@" in the user field of the console login (agetty), I am able to use those characters subsequently in the password field. Expected Results: The characters should of outputed to the term the correct mappings for "#" and "@". I believe this bug to be related to this one:

you neglected to provide `emerge info` it'd also help if we knew what your consolefonts/keymaps settings are
(In reply to comment #3) This is after a stage3 install. No modifications to rc.conf with respect to console or keymaps.
