I was using syscons, and when I read some of the boot messages, I saw a few lines about kern.vt.* under the i915kms driver. I realised what had happened and changed the console driver. Thanks for your reply. But still, I don't understand why the i915kms driver would be written just for the vt console driver. Why is the intel driver limited to vt, considering a lot of people (and the handbook, for instance) often use syscons?
