There's quite a big change in the vt(4) NewCons implementation. You can now have both the old sc(4) and the new vt(4) console drivers in the same kernel. In fact the GENERIC kernel is now configured like this. You can select which console to use using a loader.conf(5) variable kern.vty. The default is sc in the GENERIC kernel and you can change it to vt with:
Code:
kern.vty=vt
