First of all, it's possible that binaries made for current in
February will no longer work, although I'm really not sure.

Second, you shouldn't link /dev/console to /dev/vga.  Instead,
modify your /etc/ttys so that the getty runs on vga instead of
console.  Here are the relevant lines:

console	"/usr/libexec/getty Pc"		pc3	off secure
vga	"/usr/libexec/getty Pc"		pc3	on secure

Also, make sure that the console and vga nodes are correct:

crw-------  1 root  tty    0,   0 Jul 18 16:01 /dev/console
crw-------  1 root  tty   12,   0 Jul 18 16:01 /dev/vga
