Great that works, thanks again Jukka.
But it seems like wscons works only after login is executed.

I have a custom script which I would like to be able to see also before login is started and after initialization of wscons.
The output seen in serial console looks following:

init: Creating mfs /dev (412 blocks, 1024 inodes)
wsdisplay0: screen 1 added (80x25, vt100 emulation)
Install wifibsd on your HD? [y/N]:
Enter your choice: 

Is there any way to start screen console without executing login? 
A work around could be to start login executable and log in automatically then execute a custom script instead of user's shell .
Is it possible to automatically login without obtaining password?
