I've added the following to my /etc/rc.conf: font8x8="iso-8x8" font8x14="iso-8x14" font8x16="iso-thin-8x16" keymap="uk.cp850.swap" allscreens_flags="-m on VGA_80x30" You may want to use different fonts (the iso-thin one looks good at 80x30). The ``allscreens_flags'' line turns the console mouse on (-m on) and sets 80x30 for all console screens.
