Change the line with 'pc0' in your kernel config file (/sys/arch/i386/conf/*)
to:
device vt0 at isa? port "IO_KBD" irq 1
and recompile. You might want to look at /sys/arch/i386/isa/pcvt/pcvt_hdr.h
first, and see what 'option PCVT_XXXX' lines you might want to add to the
config file first, to suit your needs. Also, look in the pcvt directory
(/sys/arch/i386/isa/pcvt) and compile/install the utilities there, plus
perhaps the extra termcap entries and something to add to /etc/rc.local
to set up the virtual terminals.
Information on recompiling kernels can be found in the generic BSD-derived
systems FAQ, that should be around somewhere. This FAQ tries to provide
info on all BSD-derived systems (for i386 machines), so it isn't always
that easy to use, but it has useful info in it.
