Below are the details. Let me know if anything else is missing.
If I want to try to solve the problem myself where do I start?

thanks

Description:

	I built a custom kernel with pcvt (vt) console driver enabled.
	I removed sc driver from the kernel configuration file.
	When I try to boot with this new kernel the machine freezes
	just after the kernel starts to load.

How-To-Repeat:

I did not build any modules:

/etc/make.conf
MODULES_OVERRIDE = 

I did not touch the default /etc/rc.d/pcvt

I built and installed the kernel as advised in the user manual:

#cd /usr/src/sys/i386/conf
#/usr/sbin/config VT
#cd ../compile/VT
#make cleandepend
#make depend
#make
#make install

I had no warnings or errors in the process.
 
Fix:
	don't know
