Um, yeah, let's politely ignore that.
Switching from KMS to the console did not work because the old console
driver, syscons, did not know how to deal with it. The console is
there, but not visible.
The new console driver, vt(4), is in 9-stable and 10-stable. It must be
built into the kernel instead of syscons. There is a sample kernel
config file called VT in /usr/src/sys/amd64/conf (or i386, if you
prefer).
It works for me with both Intel and Radeon hardware.
