I've always just typed the term type there. After you complete the
software load, you can set the console type, but I don't recommend
that, since someone can come after you with a difference type, and that
could mess up the display. For example you may use an IBM 3151
terminal, and they could come in with a laptop using VT100 emulation.

If you can, upgrade that guy to 5.1 at least. It may or may not help to
save the TERM setting until the next reboot.

If you are the only user of this system, then smitty tty should do the
trick. After the boot process finishes, it shouldn't ask for your
terminal type.
