OpenBSD does not blank the console screen after booting without you
deliberately setting things to do so. This is clearly not OpenBSD at
work. Don't try to fix broken hardware configuration through OpenBSD,
fix the hardware.
You apparently have some strange "feature" in the BIOS of your hardware.
Turn it off. I've seen these features on at least Compaqs and Dells,
and heard of it on many others.
thanks, you made me look at my BIOS and (at least I think) I found the
cause. There's an option called "Video Off method", which was set to
"DPMS support". I just switched it to "blank screen" and didn't
experience the usual problems after rebooting. I think (hope ;) ) this
solved the problem.
