I'm only modifying my wscons.conf file. I enabled wscons in /etc/rc.conf,
and next time I rebooted it came up just fine. (I rebooted because I had
a number of other things to change also since it was a new machine I was
tweaking.) If you prefer I think you can put this wscons.conf in place
and then run /etc/rc.wscons (a shell script). I think "/etc/rc.d/wscons start"
would also work.

I think you must have the proper compatibility options configured into your
kernel, but the GENERIC kernel already has them set (so if you run GENERIC
then you should be fine by default). (If needed, I can email off-list the
kernel config file that I use.)

Here is my wscons.conf:
