There are error messages 
deamon getty[1302]: login_tty /dev/console: Operation not supported by device
Jun 28 20:59:25 deamon init: getty repeating too quickly on port /dev/console, sleeping 30 secs

How-To-Repeat: To start FreeBSD (?)

This is most likely due to your changing of /etc/ttys.

The line for the console tty should read (this is the default):

console "none"                          unknown off secure


Most likely you have it set to:

console "/usr/libexec/getty Pc"         pccons  on  secure


Simply changing "on" to "off" will get rid of the error messages.  Your 
system should continue to function as before.
