Well,

# vidcontrol -i mode
    mode#     flags   type    size       font      window      linear buffer
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
 24 (0x018) 0x00000001 T 80x25           8x16  0xb8000 32k 32k 0x00000000 32k

# vidcontrol 80x30
vidcontrol: cannot set videomode: Operation not supported by device
vidcontrol: cannot set videomode: Operation not supported by device

# vidcontrol VESA_800x600
vidcontrol: cannot set videomode: Inappropriate ioctl for device
vidcontrol: cannot set videomode: Inappropriate ioctl for device

Did something change since amd64/72213?

hint.sc.0.flags="0x80" in /boot/device.hints has no effect.
