[COFF] Screen saver on BSDi

Is it just me, or did console messages really wake up the screen saver on BSDi (aka BSD/OS)? That old box has long since gone to $HEAVEN (along with the company itself; thank you WinDriver) but I'm getting annoyed at having to tap a key on FreeBSD to see the console, which I don't recall having to do on BSDi. -- Dave
