I was just looking at /etc/termcap, and I found some pretty interesting options.

But only
Code:
wsconscfg -t 80x50 -e vt100 1
works. None of the types described in /etc/termcap work, giving the following error:
Code:
wsconscfg: WSDISPLAYIO_ADDSCREEN: Device not configured
I suspect that wsconscfg uses a different list, because wsconscfg(8) also says
Code:
     -e emul
             Specify the terminal emulation to use for the virtual terminal.
             The set of available terminal emulations is determined at kernel
             compile time.  See wscons(4) for details.
wscons(4) lists three available types dumb, sun, vt100 where sun and vt100 are available by default unless their flags are set to turned off, and dumb should always be available.

What I found most interesting now, is that type dumb gives the same error as all the types from /etc/termcap. Unfortunately Mr. Google only has only 6 pages of results for the error, and as I'm looking through them, I can't find a solution.
