I'm using the VESA_800x600 console too.  I was trying to get 1024x768
console working, but it suddenly became less important when I get X
working =)

For sound, try this: http://www.katsurajima.seya.yokohama.jp/ich/
I found while searching through mailing lists, it's a driver for the sound
card on my laptop.  The driver has been committed into FreeBSD-CURRENT,
but I don't think it's finished so it's not in FreeBSD-STABLE yet.  I
haven't had any problems with it though.

Also, have you had any problems with your ethernet?
