That is the desired effect! :-) The problem is that my ttyv1 and v2 were also slammed. The module was the plain old if_de.c. 100MBit is very particular about its cabling, and it kept telling me: enabling 100TX de0 down. Cabling problem? enabling... disabling... blah blah blah ad naseum. If /dev/console was ONLY ttyv0 I'd be the happiest boy alive.
