Just disable them for now.=20

The issue with empty console is  that if there is "device sc" in
kernel config syscons becomes default console. And if crash happens
before frame buffer driver is initialize no output from kernel appears
anywhere. Add set boot_multicons=3D"YES" to /boot/loader.rc or remove
syscons-related stuff from kernel config.=20
