check the /sys/i386/conf/WHATEVER file for a line like

options NCONS=4    #4 virtual consoles

and later for a line like

device  sc0 on isa?  port  ...
        ~~~
on some very old installations this was pc0. pc0 is another console driver
and it don't support virtual consoles. then you have to get the syscons
package from the net.

  hope this helps,

ps.  if you change anything in this file, you must do also
   config WHATEVER
   cd /sys/compile/WHATEVER
   make depend ; make ; cp 386bsd /
