Hi Ed,

I just added `device vt' to my kernel and set kern.vty=vt, but got no
output at all upon rebooting. I tried setting hw.vga.textmode=1 as found
in the man page but that didn't change anything.

Only on the Wiki page I then found I need `device vt_vga' as well. With
this it works for me now. In case it matters I have an nVidia graphic
card and nvidia.ko loaded.

Would it be possible to make this a runtime printf if missing? Or at
least it should be added to vt(4) (there doesn't seem to be a man page
for vt_vga) and maybe UPDATING.

BR,
Stefan
