When I add this to wscons.conf, I get:

ttyE0: wsconsctl: WSDISPLAYIO_SFONT: Device not configured
ttyE1: wsconsctl: WSDISPLAYIO_SFONT: Device not configured
ttyE2: wsconsctl: WSDISPLAYIO_SFONT: Device not configured
ttyE3: wsconsctl: WSDISPLAYIO_SFONT: Device not configured
/etc/rc.d/wscons exited with code 1

Any pointers?
