But to be honest, this was about two years ago. Since I did this recently, you need to build with=20 options VESA options SC_PIXEL_MODE Then run vidcontrol -i mode to get a list of modes. Choose one and then run vidcontrol with something like: -g 160x64 MODE_283 where 160x64 comes from dividing the mode's font size into its resolution. You can make that automatic by adding allscreens_flags=3D"-h 2000 -g 160x64 MODE_283" to rc.conf BTW does anyone know what the character at the end of the size field is in the "vidcontrol -i mode" output, I'm seeing "D","P" or "4" on the graphics modes.
