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.
