Lemme complicate things a little bit.
I have 0x0100 with sc0, no flags 0x1 with atkbd0:
atkbdc0: <Keyboard controller (i8042)> at port 0x60,0x64 on isa0
vga0: <Generic ISA VGA> at port 0x3c0-0x3df iomem 0xa0000-0xbffff on isa0
sc0: <System console> at flags 0x100 on isa0
sc0: VGA <16 virtual consoles, flags=0x100>
and... surprise... I have
console="comconsole"
in my /boot/loader.conf
The box has a built-in VGA card, so we've plugged in kbd/vga
multiplexer, we have ttyv0 enabled in /etc/ttys and...
we experience a login prompt, but no kbd response.
Serial console works fine - it's still used remotely
and definitely deserves its /etc/ttys entry,
however it would be nice to have a possibility to
play with virtual console while in server room.
kbdcontrol -k /dev/kbd0 didn't help much...
A whole com/at/usb keyboard, serial/vga console
plus "dual console" feature and -h flags are
getting a bit messy to me... Although much better
than ol' Solaris /etc/system entry.
