I suppose this has to be
echo -ne "\e]R"

Is this some special terminal, or the Linux framebuffer works
differently on these systems? If the first, then either some check is
required in /etc/init.d/kbd to avoid this echo, or a redirection is
required (echo -ne "\e]R" >/dev/somewhere). If the second, then perhaps
this is a bug in the kernel?
