[Bug 276206] Setting kern.vty="sc" will hang the loader boot process, but vt(4) says we can do that

This is noted in syscons(4), but not mentioned in vt(4) where the kern.vty tunable (used to select vt or sc) is documented. Add a note so that if someone reads vt(4) but not sc(4) they are not surprised by having no usable console.
