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.
