I actually solved the problem just before I saw your reply. I was using 
syscons, and when I read some of the boot messages, I saw a few lines 
about kern.vt.* under the i915kms driver. I realised what had happened 
and changed the console driver. Thanks for your reply.

But still,  I don't understand why the i915kms driver would be written 
just for the vt console driver. Why is the intel driver limited to vt, 
considering a lot of people (and the handbook, for instance) often use 
syscons?
