One clarification for the archives: there's no tunable "hw.vty", it's
"kern.vty". From vt(4):
kern.vty
When both vt and sc(4) have been compiled into the kernel, the
one to use for the system console can be selected by setting t=
his
value to =E2=80=98vt=E2=80=99 or =E2=80=98sc=E2=80=99. If thi=
s value is not set, sc(4) is used.
Although I see that needs an update, since the situation is now:
If this value is not set, sc(4) is used, unless the system is booted
via UEFI. In the UEFI-boot case vt(4) is used.
