etc.sparc64/ttys:console "/usr/libexec/getty suncons" wsvt25 on secure
Why is sparc{,64} exempt from having shitty defaults? because people who
use it don't have to ask netbsd-users if they happen to use sufficiently
shitty hardware to justify shitty defaults?
x86 hardware doesn't even have console 99% of the time!
sysinst isn't a solution because sysinst barely supports amd64.
