If your port supports wscons, (i386, alpha, pmax, some arm32,
vax, maybe others), enable virtual consoles in rc.conf.
If not, use dt or screen (from pkgsrc), or help people
convert your port to using wscons. I believe someone has
done a lot of work on mac68k wscons and with any luck it
should be around for 1.5 ...
