vt in amd64/10.0-RELEASE-p9 #0?

Regarding /usr/ports/UPDATING from 20141001 and 20141003,
I'm following instructions but cannot get vt.
I've set kern.vty=vt in /boot/loader.conf,
but on reboot I get:

% sysctl kern.vty
sysctl: unknown oid 'kern.vty': No such file or directory

and the switching from the graphicsl console to
the text does not work. I can type commands blindly,
just as described.

https://wiki.freebsd.org/Newcons
says this should work
"in GENERIC on amd64/i386 as of r268045".
Perhaps my 10.0-RELEASE-p9 #0 is earlier than that?

Please advise

Thanks

Anton
