            Bug ID: 210436
           Summary: vt(4) boot time default console driver selection not
                    working
           Product: Base System
           Version: 11.0-CURRENT
          Hardware: Any
                OS: Any
            Status: New
          Keywords: vt
          Severity: Affects Many People
          Priority: ---
         Component: kern
          Assignee: freebsd-bugs at FreeBSD.org
          Reporter: joeb1 at a1poweruser.com

The vt manual says this under the kern.vty heading,
Set this value to 'vt' or 'sc' to override the default driver used for the
system console. BY default, sc(4) is used on computers that boot from BIOS, and
vt is used on computers that boot from UEFI.

MY old DELL desktop boots from BIOS but yet I get vt graph mode auto selected.
According to the vt manual this should not happen. Tested on 11.0-ALPHA4.
