Okay. I thought you were referring to some
return-to-text-mode-on-DDB-entry hack.

FYI, you don't need the vtXX bit.

i386$ head -5 /etc/ttys
console "/usr/libexec/getty Pc"         pc3     off secure
ttyv0   "/usr/libexec/getty Pc"         pcvt25  on  secure
ttyv1   "/usr/libexec/getty Pc"         pcvt25  on  secure
ttyv2   "/usr/libexec/getty Pc"         pcvt25  on  secure
ttyv3   "/usr/X11R6/bin/xdm -nodaemon"  xterm   on  secure
