 hmmm, mine has just this for screens:
 
 screen  0       -       vt100
 screen  1       -       vt100
 screen  2       -       vt100
 screen  3       -       vt100
 screen  4       -       -
 
 and screen4 is where X will run, and 0-3 are gettys:
 
 constty "/usr/libexec/getty std.115200" vt100   on secure
 ttyE0   "/usr/libexec/getty Pc"         vt220   on secure
 ttyE1   "/usr/libexec/getty Pc"         vt220   on secure
 ttyE2   "/usr/libexec/getty Pc"         vt220   on secure
 ttyE3   "/usr/libexec/getty Pc"         vt220   on secure
 
 that gives me a login: prompt on the serial console as well as
 4 virtual terminal logins on the display and then X runs on the
 5th...
 
 this setup works for me with drmkms, but i've only got radeon
 PCI cards for testing here.
 
 is this i386 or amd64?  can you confirm that you only have one
 wsdisplay (wsdisplay0) and that wskbd0 and wsmux1 connect to it?
