Do you have a 8x8 font loaded?

//extract from rc.conf

font8x8="iso-8x8"
font8x14="iso-8x14"
font8x16="iso-8x16"
cursor="blink"
allscreens_flags="132x50"

echo '[SETTING UP VTs]'
for ii in /dev/tty*
do
  /usr/sbin/vidcontrol green black > $ii 2>&1
done

/usr/sbin/vidcontrol yellow black > /dev/ttyv1 2>&1

//

you should find installed fonts in
/usr/share/syscons/fonts

You need a 8x8 for >25 rows
