See /sys/i386/conf/GENERIC:

# syscons is the default console driver, resembling an SCO console 
device          sc0     at isa? port "IO_KBD" tty irq 1 vector scintr
# Enable this and PCVT_FREEBSD for pcvt vt220 compatible console driver
#device         vt0     at isa? port "IO_KBD" tty irq 1 vector pcrint
#options                XSERVER                 # support for X server
#options                FAT_CURSOR              # start with block cursor

Comment sc0, uncomment the rest, then remake the kernel.
