How do I get the character terminals to blank the screen?

There is a kernel parameter called TBLNK that you can easily modify with vtblank (1M):

      # vtblank           -  View TBLNK seconds and (on | off) state
      # vtblank -s 60     -  Set the screen to blank after 60 sec, turn on.
      # vtblank -m 1      -  Set the screen to blank after 1 min, turn on.
      # vtblank -o off    -  Disable screen blanking, leave TBLNK unchanged.
      # vtblank -o on     -  Enable screen blanking.
