I get a couple of error messages regarding inet6, which I have not set 
up. Then I get

/dev/ttyE0: 640x240 (1280 bytes/line) 16bit offset=0
user RAW XT keyboard, /dev/ttyE0

Nothing at all about keyrepeat or keymap.

What does your wscons.conf look like? I might look into installing the 
userland image you emailed me. I'll have to find what I did with it.
Is there a way to display which userland I am running?
