Re: No VT's

I built the iso from the current source tree, and did a "complete"
install from it.

I believe it says it's the "GENERIC" kernel, if I remember right.

Did you install using the TINY kernel on i386? If so, sysinst commented 
out the screen (and maybe mux) entries in your wscons.conf and also 
sysinst never enabled your terminals in /etc/ttys.

(On i386 and amd64, the ttys are enabled by sysinst, unless using TINY 
kernel.)
