One clarification for the archives: there's no tunable "hw.vty", it's
"kern.vty".  From vt(4):

     kern.vty
             When both vt and sc(4) have been compiled into the kernel, the
             one to use for the system console can be selected by setting this
             value to ‘vt’ or ‘sc’.  If this value is not set, sc(4) is used.

Although I see that needs an update, since the situation is now:

If this value is not set, sc(4) is used, unless the system is booted
via UEFI.  In the UEFI-boot case vt(4) is used.
