Using rd.kiwi.term will export the TERM variable into the initrd environment. In case the default value for the terminal emulation is not appropriate rd.kiwi.term can be used to overwrite the default. The environment is also passed to the systemd unit which calls dialog based programs in kiwi dracut code, such that the TERM setting will be effective there too. For example:

rd.kiwi.term=vt100
