That might not work, since WSCONS config works by including GENERIC and then 
disabling several drivers from there and adding a few new. But that’s not a 
problem, just review WSCONS file by hand, as it is short.

See man 4 wscons. There are a lot of WS_* options you can set in the kernel 
config to change colours.

Yes, as you have noticed yourself, you need to enable wscons in rc.conf and 
edit /etc/ttys to enable the terminals.

Please provide the stack trace. You can get it by typing “bt” at the debugger 
prompt.

I suspect there’s some problem with the msm6242b_settime_ymdhms() function in 
src/sys/dev/ic/msm6242b.c, but now I don’t have a way to test it.

Yes, I know...
