device-side (and only device-side) "virtual USB serial adapters" - the
ones you can get with an OTG-capable board - as consoles. It boils down
to adding the device name to kern.console sysctl, although doing that
requires jumping through some hoops. It doesn't change the actual
operation of those virtual devices. The point is to make it possible
for init(8) to recognize them as console devices and to launch getty(8)
for them, when configured as "onifconsole" in ttys(5). The point of
that, in turn, is to add such entries to the default ttys(5), so that
init(8) will launch gettys for device-side "virtual serial adapters",
but not for actual USB serial dongles.
