--- Comment #40 from Eugene Grosbein <eugen at freebsd.org> ---
Anyone having this problem should blame manufacturer of its hardware for
garbage in its ACPI tables that is root of the problem. ACPI reports that
system has no VGA at all. syscons ignores ACPI but vt obeys since 11.2 (it
ignored before).

We already have a workaround for this problem that allows using vt(4) driver
when old syscons cannot be used, e.g. in UEFI environment. Add this to
/boot/loader.conf:

hw.vga.acpi_ignore_no_vga=1

Perhaps, installation media intended for interactive installation should have
it by default.
