  Ok, I took another look. Since I never used wscons before rc.d/wscons
  wasn't run since its disabled by default. I enabled it in /etc/rc.conf
  and turned the wsons ttys on in /etc/ttys. I didn't activate ttyE0 because
  I think that would conflict with the console entry, wouldn't it? That
  gives multiple ttys where I can login. Switching is done either with
  L-Amiga or LALT-CTRL + function key. One surprising feature is the german
  keyboard encoding: switching to de (either manually or through
  /etc/wscons.conf) gives a german PC layout ;-) Having wscons for other 
  /dev/grf? would be nice, hm.

  When I compiled a minimal wscons kernel I noticed that config activated
  NTSC despite the fact that I only have GRF_PAL in my config file. What
  is going on here?
