Note that this is documented in syscons(4):

 Note that the syscons driver is not compatible with systems booted via
 UEFI(8).  Forcing use of syscons on such systems will result in no usable
 console.

(In reply to Maxim Konovalov from comment #3)
hw.vga.textmode=1 does not seem to work in uefi either.

Maybe we should add a note to vt(4) pointing out which tunables are not
available in UEFI booted systems?

syscons notably doesn't know at all how to find the efi framebuffer, so if
you're booting via efi this is expected and the machine likely isn't actually
hung (but just not drawing to the screen).

Hi,

Probably not a solution but rather a workaround: give a try to
"hw.vga.textmode=1"

It hangs right after the loader loads the kernel, and prints the EFI
framebuffer information as usual, where the kernel should clear the screen and
print dmesg in a couple of seconds. There are no error message.

Can you upload a photo of where it hangs?

Bug ID: 276206
   Summary: Setting kern.vty="sc" will hang the loader boot
process, but vt(4) says we can do that
   Product: Documentation
   Version: Latest
  Hardware: amd64
OS: Any
Status: New
  Severity: Affects Only Me
  Priority: ---
 Component: Manual Pages
  Assignee: b...@freebsd.org
  Reporter: hym2209268...@gmail.com
CC: d...@freebsd.org

>From manpage vt(4), LOADER TUNABLES:

kern.vty
   Set this value to `vt' or `sc' to choose a specific system con-
   sole,  overriding the default.  The GENERIC kernel uses vt when
   this value is not set.

on my GENERIC kernel shipped with 14.0-RELEASE, adding a line to
/boot/loader.conf 'kern.vty="sc"' will hang the loader while loading kernel and
trying to boot.
