"flags" is a very unusual place for a device to be "at".  This happens
on systems with working consoles too:

vga0: <Generic ISA VGA> at port 0x3c0-0x3df iomem 0xa0000-0xbffff on isa0
sc0: <System console> at flags 0x100 on isa0
sc0: VGA <16 virtual consoles, flags=0x300>

There is no sign of the keyboard ports where the keyboard part of sc0
really is "at".  This is a very old bug -- keyboard ports were not
configured normally in 386BSD-0.0.  My sc0 flags actually are 0x100.
The virtual console flags seem to be unrelated to config flags.

sc0 has been "at" flags here since at least 8 July.
