Arch Linux porting the sh4 CPU OK, but telnetd strange

I've successful porting Arch Linux to sh4 CPU.
https://code.google.com/p/sh4twbox/

Here is the console screen demo http://ascii.io/a/2849

But, I use a workaround method to prevent upgrade kernel.
I use the sysvinit back instead of systemd.

Here I found a problem, when I telnet to the xinetd telnetd.
It hidden some chars. And disable the echo back.
It is OK for ssh login.

For example, see it eats my hostname prompt and 'P' of  'P'assword:

# hostname
sh4twbox
[root@sh4twbox ~]# telnet localhost
Trying 127.0.0.1...
Connected to localhost.
Escape character is '^]'.
4twbox        
assword: 
0;root@sh4twbox:~?1034hoot@sh4twbox ~]# 
0;root@sh4twbox:~oot@sh4twbox ~]# 
0;root@sh4twbox:~oot@sh4twbox 
0;root@sh4twbox:~oot@sh4twbox ~]#      H       H       H       H       H
0;root@sh4twbox:~oot@sh4twbox ~]#ogout
Connection closed by foreign host.

Re: Arch Linux porting the sh4 CPU OK, but telnetd strange

I think your escape sequences maybe goofed, but it maybe doing something else strange.
For security reasons, regular telnet was removed from Arch some time ago, for the sshd instead.
But if you are using telnet to access a web server or something like that and it still does that with the telnet client, then the telnet client is probably messed up, but this is probably your telnetd doing something funny.  So try to hit a web server with your telnet client and see what it does.

I may have to CONSOLE you about your usage of ridiculously easy graphical interfaces...
Look ma, no mouse.

I'm sure my telnet client is workable on other.
I've sshd setup already, but, I want to save CPU on this slow machine.
But, the problem is caused by the telnetd or the path to telnetd.

/etc/inittab
