	Thank you for a very good answer, but I did not ask the
question very well. I completely forgot to mention that I had
actually set   the first TTY as follows:

ttyu0	"/usr/libexec/getty std.116200"	vt100	on  secure

It worked when I actually had the system in the same room and
was connected to the box with a null-modem cable. When we
changed the console to work with the DRAC, the FreeBSD kernel
messages worked as always but the command-line console which
should start with the login prompt does act like it would with
that tty line not set.
