You can try playing with the various /etc/rc.conf settings to tweak
console display. I have this in mine:
keymap="uk.cp850"
keyrate="fast"
font8x8="swiss-8x8"
allscreens_flags="80x50"
This is ok for me here in the UK - you might have to play around with
different fonts if you use a different keymap. The screen flags setting
just changes the display to 80x50 instead of the default 80x25.
Note you can test those settings out from the console using kbdcontrol.
