Yes, I thought so, too. But I did that, ("./MAKEDEV all" should
suffice, should it not?); and I can boot fine to stable-running
multiuser when using remote console, but not on the framebuffer
(console hardwired to code 133).

I have /dev/console, and also /dev/grf0 and /dev/ttye0 (which I guess
is the text console device, it is make by "MAKEDEV ite*", ite being
the kernel config entry for the "internal terminal emulator" on the
framebuffer.)
