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
