Add -Dh to /boot.config
And to /etc/ttys
- ttyd0 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600"   dialup  off secure
+ ttyd0 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600"   vt100   on secure

At boot up time if you want output to go to the console, hit F1 as
normal, and then at the booting prompt hit the space bar, and then
enter in -h and enter.  It will then go to the console as normal.
