I'm also missing /dev/consolectl

I've read man syscons and all the prerequisites there are present in the
kernel:

           device atkbdc
           device atkbd
           device vga
           device sc

           device splash

And also these in /boot/device.hints:

           hint.atkbdc.0.at="isa"
           hint.atkbdc.0.port="0x060"
           hint.atkbd.0.at="atkbdc"
           hint.atkbd.0.irq="1"
           hint.vga.0.at="isa"
           hint.sc.0.at="isa"

Where should I look next?
