You can't use `-d pc_kbd' for the console and the
/dev/kbd translator
simultaneously. "

If you do not have `-d pc_kbd', the console will not respond to input
of course.
If the screen is black there is something else going on.  In that case
the console server is not initialized or /etc/ttys is not set up
correctly.
I think there will be a new Hurd package soon.  It would be better to
use that.

I have updated the system today, and i still have the same problem :
   "console -d vga -d pc_kdb /dev/vcs" not working : same black screen. 
Also, with ncursesw it does not work.
The /etc/ttys is correct. ctrl+alt+backspace exist the console 
succesfully. Should I "unsettrans" keyboard and try to run console like 
this : "console -d vga -d pc_kdb /dev/vcs" ?
