I disabled machfb, so that it would not try and fail to attach to my video
adapter, and now I can get a console.  There were still some problems:

Starting file system checks:
mount: /: unknown special file or file system.
rm: utmp: Read-only file system
rm: utmpx: Read-only file system
Setting tty flags.

That happened because sysinst left the /dev/wd0e line in /etc/fstab
commented out.  I replaced the text '???' with 'ffs' and uncommented the
line.  Now the boot gets to the root prompt without additional problems.
