 You can simply remove /etc/rc.syscons file, to stop running.  If you
 don't want to do so, you can also set some variable to stop all
 /etc/rc.syscons setup effective.
 
 Doesn't it work for you?

State-Changed-Why:  

Everything in rc.syscons is already controlled by a knob, and as 
was already said, if you don't like having it run, just rm it.

I closed this prematurely. Originator suggested an excellent idea
for handling this that doesn't require user intervention, so
give it a ride.
