Here's info on what various termcap entries produce:
$ grep ^ttyC /etc/ttys | grep on$
ttyC0 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" vt220 on
ttyC1 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" pccon on
ttyC2 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" pcvt25-color on
ttyC3 "/usr/libexec/getty std.9600" wsvt25m on
.--------------------------.

'-------+---------------+-------------+-------------+------------'
Is there something in the boot process that enables console colours if a
monitor is connected?
Is the kernel behaviour different on boot with/without a monitor
present?
Cheers.
