            Bug ID: 193710
           Summary: vt(4) outdated information
           Product: Documentation
           Version: Latest
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: Needs Triage
          Severity: Affects Many People
          Priority: ---
         Component: Documentation
          Assignee: freebsd-doc@FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: emaste@freebsd.org

|     kern.vt.spclkeys
|             bitmap of allowed special keys. 1 is enabled, 0 is disabled.
|             Encoded as:
|             0x0001    Debug request key combination. (Ctrl+Alt+Esc)
|             0x0002    Reboot. (Ctrl+Alt+Del)
|             0x0004    Halt.
|             0x0008    Power down.
|             Default is 15, all enabled.

The "spclkeys" sysctl is no longer, replaced with per-key sysctls.

|     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 =
this
|             value to =E2=80=98vt=E2=80=99 or =E2=80=98sc=E2=80=99.  If th=
is value is not set, sc(4) is used.

The last sentence is true only if not booting via UEFI on amd64.  The situa=
tion
is now:

If this value is not set and the system is not booted via UEFI, sc(4) is us=
ed.=20=20
For the UEFI boot case vt(4) is used.

syscons.4 may need a similar update.
