What do you wanna know?  It should display you a Login: prompt, so
well, you can already use it?

Alas, the documentation is hidden in /usr/src/usr.sbin/pcvt/Misc/.
This is basically an artifact of importing it from an external
standalone package, and i've never got round to find a good method of
installing the docs somewhere into the regular tree.  (Perhaps i
should do so and put them under /usr/share/doc/pcvt/.)
