I was about to point this out. We had to implement a reasonable subset
of readline for the SR EtherDrive firmware, if you can have the words
reasonable and readline in the same sentence. People kept hitting ^P
to back up a line in history, causing an unexpected reboot. ☹
I stuck it in rc(1) and put rc in raw mode. Not for public consumption, which
is a good thing. ☺
